MOSQUITO CONTROL: Airplane application - Apply 3% to 5% Malathion in fuel oil at rate of 1/2 lb. actual Malathion per acre. Use 2 1/2 gal. of 3% Malathion per acre or use 1 1/2 gal of 5% Malathion per acre. MIST SPRAYING AND LARVACIDING: Broadcast use only over intermittently flooded areas. Application may not be made around bodies of water where fish or shellfish are grown and/or harvested commercially. Apply a 3% to 5% Malathion in fuel oil at the rate of 1/2 lb. actual Malathion per acre. Use 2 1/2 gal. of 3% Malathion per acre or use 1 1/2 gal of 5% Malathion per acre. Repeat as necessary.
THERMAL FOGGING: Apply at a rate of 0.075 lb. to 0.1 lb of actual Malathion per acre. For 3% solution this will be at the approximate rate of 1 gallon per 3.5 acres.
DILUTION DIRECTIONS FOR THERMAL FOGGING AND MIST SPRAYING OILS: For mosquito control work, us a 3% to 5% Malathion concentration in No. 2 fuel oil. For a 3% Malathion fogging or mist spraying oil use 1 part of MAL 50-OS to 22 parts fuel oil. To make a 5% fogging or mist spraying oil add 1 part MAL 5O-OS to 13 parts of fuel oil. Fogging compounds and mist spraying compounds of up to 5% concentration of Malathion can be made in No. 2 fuel oil without using co-solvents. NOTICE -: When diluting MAL 50-OS with mineral seal oil, deodorized aliphatic or kerosene type petroleum oils use one part aromatic type solvent to four parts kerosene type oils.
FOGGING INSTRUCTIONS: For maximum effectiveness general outdoor fogging should be carried out under surface inversion conditions which usually exist only from one hour after sunset, through the night, and until sunrise. During this time, providing the wind velocity is under 3-4 miles per hour, the fog will remain in the area and close to the ground the required time to be fully effective. Outdoor fogging in windy (over 4 MPH) weather will be ineffective as the tiny particles will be too widely dispersed by the wind. Repeat as necessary.
