Wind tunnel for assessment of insecticides

A method of assessing insecticide with a wind tunnel system, the method comprising:

• providing a wind tunnel system comprising:
• a chamber having an inlet configured to receive a gas flowing into the chamber and an outlet configured to output the gas from the chamber;
• an inlet filter configured to filter the gas flowing into the chamber;
• an outlet filter configured to filter the gas flowing out of the chamber;
• an aerosol generator configured to generate an insecticide aerosol downstream from the inlet filter;
• an insect container holder configured to secure an insect container in the chamber downstream from the aerosol generator and upstream from the outlet filter;
• and
• an airflow controller configured to flow the gas into the inlet and out of the outlet of the chamber;
• connecting an insect container to the insect container holder, the insect container comprising a gas permeable sidewall configured to allow the gas to flow through the insect container;
• aerosolizing insecticide in the chamber;
• and
• flowing gas through the inlet and out of the outlet of the chamber such that the insecticide aerosol flows through an insect container in the chamber.
