CAMPAIGN AGAINST BITING INSECTS
During the construction of new cities, industrial complexes, and power plants in Siberia, geologists and surveyors are most troubled by biting insects - countless flying, blood-sucking pests.
Various means have been proposed to fight them - ointments, liquids, dense nets. But all of these offer only short-term protection from midges and mosquitoes.
The Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences has successfully solved this problem. A floating tracked vehicle has been equipped with an aerosol generator that allows for large-scale area treatment. When the engine is remotely activated, the aerosol generator emits a jet of chemical agent up to 50 meters.
The powerful aerosol generator can be mounted on various types of tracked vehicles. The cost of treating one hectare is 12 kopeks.,
