Water-based formulations (EW) are provided containing no VOC's or alternatively are low in VOC's for wide area space spray to control mosquitoes, flies, and other public health pests. Application via ULV, these formulations have been observed to provide significantly superior control of pests when compared to competitive adulticides. The present formulations provide exceptional preservation of both droplet density in the spray cloud and droplet size as measured by volume mean diameter (VmD). The present formulations provide superior bio-efficacy as measured by both mortality and knockdown of target organisms. The present formulations provide superior biological control, droplet density, and droplet size when applied at concentrations 20-80× less than competitive formulations.
A pesticidal formulation diluted with water to form a sprayable diluted pesticidal formulation, the pesticidal formulation comprising one or more pesticide(s) in combination with acetyl tributyl citrate, wherein the pesticidal formulation contains no VOCs, and wherein one or more of the pesticide(s) is transfluthrin, flupyradifurone, or a combination thereof.
