Efficiency of application of insecticidal agent «AIS-LAMK» for control of keratophagous insects

The article shows the effectiveness of the studied avermectin-containing insecticidal agent on the action on keratophagous insects when determining the acute and duration of residual action in laboratory conditions. The lethal effect from application of avermectin-containing insecticidal agent “AIS-LAMK” was revealed at estimation of its acute action in dilutions from 1:100 to 1:1000 with respect to caterpillars of the cloak moth and larvae of the skin beetle in 15 minutes after processing of raw material, while the residual effect of the investigated agent in dilution 1:100 and 1:300 on caterpillars of the cloak moth and larvae of the skin beetle is preserved after processing of feather-bearing raw material 1 month later. Similar results were obtained when using the product in a propellant-free aerosol package on absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces. It was established that the cost price of 1 liter of the working solution in dilution 1:100 is 13 rub. 08 kopecks, which allows to recommend it for short-term protection of feather and fur raw material from insect-keratophages.
