The influence of building materials on the residual action of BHC
Universidade de Brasília, Núcleo de Medicina Tropical e Nutrição, Brasil
Universidade de Brasília, Departamento de Biologia Vegetal, Brasil
Residual insecticide activity of BHC vapors from various building materials in controlled humidity chambers in the laboratory were significantly different. Laboratory-reared, first instar nymphs of Dipetalogaster maximus were exposed to vapors of BHC which were being released from the treated surfaces of building materials taken from Mambaí, Goiás.
Keywords: building materials; BHC; triatomine bugs
A atividade residual dos vapores do inseticida BHC de vários materiais de construção em câmaras com controle de umidade, no laboratório, foram significativamente diferentes entre si. Ninfas do primeiro estágio de Dipetalogaster maximus, criados em laboratório, foram expostas a vapores de BHC liberados da superfície tratada dos materiais de construção trazidos de Mambaí, Goiás.
