These are tests on insecticides applied in a confined space in indoor conditions. Typical ambient insecticides are candles, mats, emanators, sprays and smokers. These products are tested in a large room (20-30 m3) or in a Peet-Grady chamber on insects free in the room or confined in cages or containers. Special rooms and CCTV equipment record knock downs every minute without the necessity of entering the room. All climatic parameters (light intensity, photoperiod, light quality, humidity, temperature) can be controlled.
