From laboratory studies it seems that permethrin shows low or any barrier effect against sandfly species tested, and that the high insecticidal activity (mortality rate greater than 90%, 24 hours after the contact with treated net, 1 g/m2) and the reduction of biting rate observed (between 53.56% and 85.24%) are the main effects that make permethrin-impregnated nets very effective for sandfly control.

In order to innovate dengue vector control, field tests were carried out in dengue epidemic areas in Vietnam to examine the efficacy of Olyset Net screen, which is a wide-mesh net made of polyethylene thread impregnated with permethrin.
The results show that Olyset Net (1) reduced the number of principal dengue vector species, Aedes aegypti, (2) interrupted the silent transmission of dengue viruses and (3) was highly appreciated by the local people as a convenient and comfortable vector control method.
