Laie 
oil is used where tender foliage is present. The amount of DDT that can 
be dissolved in the solvent depends on the temperature. Benzene is 
preferable to xylene. 
Lindane, malathion, pyrethrum, rotenone, toxaphene, chlordane, HETP, 
TEPP, and nicotine have been similarly formulated. The last three 
insecticides are particularly noxious in aerosol form; an operator 
should therefore wear a proper gas mask when releasing them. 
Method of Application 
The initial impetus of the aerosol cloud, as it is emitted from the 
nozzle of the machine, should only place the cloud in the wind, and not 
deposit it on the foliage. The initial impetus is usually expended within 
15 feet or less. It is preferable to point the nozzle low and away from 
the direction of travel. It should never be pointed at foliage within 
the range of the initial impetus, because heavy deposit might cause 
burning. For treating low-growing crops the aerosol should be directed 
below the top of the surface inversion. When aerosols are applied in 
towns, the nozzle should be pointed over the tops of parked cars.
