| Wikipedic | Flit or FLIT is the brand name for an insecticide with the primary active ingredient of permethrin. It is most often used to control adult mosquitos. It can be used by spraying it into the air, killing adult mosquitos that are present and then settling on surfaces to kill mosquitos that may later land. A device called a flit gun was often used to perform the spraying, although today flit guns have been largely replaced by backpack-mounted and aerial sprayers. (references) | ||
