Field trials of an aerosolic regulated dispersity generator used to protect the areas of children's health centers (CHC) from bloodsucking two-winged insects were performed within the framework of the Tumen Administration's program on human protection from tick-borne encephalitis in the 2003 season. The technological parameters of the generator's operation and the organizational and tactical points of aerosolic treatments were worked on during these trials. The latter demonstrated the high efficiency of the use of insecticidal aerosols for the protection of CHC areas. The elaborated scheme of measures permitted large-scale aerosolic treatments in an area of more than 12,000 m2, by protecting 15 CHCs from attacking of bloodsucking insects. The obtained positive results may be used by specialists in other regions of Siberia.
