Flit
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. Spraying it into the air kills adult mosquitos that are present and then by settling onto surfaces it kills mosquitos that may later land. A device called a flit gun was often used to perform the spraying, although today backpack-mounted and aerial sprayers have largely replaced flit guns.
