SUMMARY DDT, dieldrin, γ‐BHC, malathion, diazinon and Sevin were all cumulative to some extent in their action on adult mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti. Mosquitoes receiving a sublethal dose of each insecticide were more susceptible to it 48 hr. later than were untreated mosquitoes from the same population. The greatest effect was obtained with dieldrin; the least with γ‐BHC.
