8-47 CHAPTER 8. NAVY ENTOMOLOGY AND PEST CONTROL TECHNOLOGY 8-47 that is not treated is subject to attack. When DEET is used, supplementary applications may be necessary every 6 to 10 hours, depending upon loss through sweating, wading in streams, contact with wet foliage, and similar activities. (2) Clothing Application Repellents. Permethrin clothing-applied repellent may be applied by aerosol can, NSN 6840-01-278-1336, or as an emulsifiable concentrate, NSN 6840-01- 334-2666. Material is applied by sprayer to the outer surface of clothing. All individuals may apply the aerosol; only a DOD certified pesticide applicator may apply the concentrate. On clothing, permethrin remains effective for up to 6 clothes washings with the aerosol formulation and up to the life of the clothes (1 year of field battle dress uniform use) for the emulsifiable concentrate formulation. Used in combination with DEET and with the proper wear of the uniform (sleeves down, collar buttoned), permethrin clothing treatment provides the most effective means of pre-venting bites from most bloodsucking arthropods. d. Additional Information on Personal Repellent Use.

General Disinsection (elimination of insects) on vessels and aircraft is defined in Secretary of the <strong>Navy</strong> (SECNAV) Instruction 6210.2 series, Quarantine Regulations of the Armed Forces and encompasses procedures to prevent the transfer of live disease vectors from infested to noninfested areas. Disinsection should always be accomplished on leaving ports and airports where yellow fever, malaria, or plague is endemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention of the U.S. Public Health Service determine disinsection requirements. Commanding officers should be aware of and comply with all applicable domestic and foreign quarantine regulations. 8-49. Disinsection of Vessels Disinsection of vessels is always performed on those vessels departing foreign ports where vector borne diseases, including yellow fever, malaria, and plague are endemic or epidemic in the immediate port area. After leaving these areas, the medical officer or the medical department representative trained in shipboard pest control procedures should make a survey to determine whether insects capable of transmitting disease are present aboard the vessel. If disease vectors are present, the commanding officer must be notified and suitable disinsection procedures initiated. Such procedures include elimination of all standing water sources where mosquito breeding occurs, space treatments with aerosols, or residual application of pesticides. Information on materials and methods for the control of disease vectors and pests aboard naval vessels is found in Section VI. 9 Nov 2004 8-50. Disinsection of Aircraft a. Geographic Areas Affected. All aircraft, except that part of the cargo section treated following retrograde cargo handling procedures, operated or under the command jurisdiction of the Department of <strong>Navy</strong>, should be disinsected immediately before the last takeoff prior to entering the following areas: (1) The United States or its possessions from a foreign port between 35 degrees north and south latitude. Aircraft landing in the United States north of 35 degrees north latitude need not be disinsected unless the aircraft proceeds immediately to an area south of 35 degrees north latitude. (2) A foreign area according to requirements of that country. (3) The State of Hawaii, including flights originating in the continental United States. b. Serialize and Log. Aircraft disinsected for official record. c. Materials. Insecticide aerosol, d-Phenothrin, NSN 6840-01-067-6674, is used to disinsect all aircraft arriving in the United States from a foreign country located within quarantine areas. Aircraft proceeding from quarantine areas within the United States to a foreign country or between foreign countries should also be treated. 8-61
