Abstract
Insecticide is administered to ectoparasites of rodents by filling a container with insecticide-impregnated fibrous nesting material and fixing it in a desired location. The container has an aperture permitting entry by rodents. Rodents incorporate the insecticide-impregnated fibrous material into their nests, thus exposing ectoparasites and their nymphs and larvae attached to these hosts, as well as those otherwise dwelling in the rodent's nest, to the insecticide.
