- NovemberWhiskey 6y agoIt's a disinsection (i.e. insect-killing) procedure; the pesticides permitted by the WHO are synthetic pyrethroids like permethrin. ref. https://www.cdc.gov/features/pesticides-aircraft/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/features/pesticides-aircraft/index.html
- benibela 6y agoPyrethoids are really used everywhere for everything That is why bed bugs have become resistant to it
- naravara 6y agoInsecticide. It's mainly to kill mosquitos. IIRC they introduced it when Zika and Chikungunya were spreading.
