Manual for indoor residual spraying application of residual sprays for vector control, third edition

Overview

Indoor residual spraying is used especially for control of malaria and Chagas disease vectors. However, where indoor residual spraying is used, it is essential that staff are fully trained in application techniques and maintenance of the application equipment. With good skills and high-quality application equipment, hazards to human health and the environment as well as financial losses can be avoided.

This manual is intended to serve as a model for developing relevant training manuals and procedures at country level to ensure safe and effective use of insecticides in vector control programmes.
