FLIT is the brand name for an insecticide. The original product, invented by chemist Dr. Franklin C. Nelson and launched in 1923 and mainly intended for killing flies and mosquitoes, was mineral oil based and manufactured by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey before the company, now part of ExxonMobil, was renamed first Esso and later Exxon. The Esso formulation contained 5% DDT in the late 1940s and early 1950s, before the negative environmental impact of DDT was widely understood. Later marketed as "FLIT MLO", it has since been discontinued. A hand-operated atomizer called a Flit gun was commonly used to perform the spraying.

  • FLIT is the brand name for an insecticide. The original product, invented by chemist Dr. Franklin C. Nelson and launched in 1923 and mainly intended for killing flies and mosquitoes, was mineral oil based and manufactured by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey before the company, now part of ExxonMobil, was renamed first Esso and later Exxon. The Esso formulation contained 5% DDT in the late 1940s and early 1950s, before the negative environmental impact of DDT was widely understood. Later marketed as "FLIT MLO", it has since been discontinued. A hand-operated atomizer called a Flit gun was commonly used to perform the spraying. The Flit brand name has been reused for another insecticide product, with the primary active ingredient of permethrin, marketed by Clarke Mosquito Control. The current product is most often used to control adult mosquitoes. Spraying it into the air kills adult mosquitoes that are present and then by settling onto surfaces it kills mosquitoes that may later land. (en)
  • FLIT es el nombre de una marca de insecticida. El producto original, inventado por el químico Dr. Franklin C. Nelson y lanzado en 1923 y principalmente usado para matar moscas y mosquitos, fue un aceite mineral basado y fabricado por la Standard Oil Company de New Jersey, antes de que la compañía, ahora parte de ExxonMobil, se cambiara el nombre primero a Esso y más tarde a Exxon.​ La formulación original de la Esso contenía 5% del insecticida DDT, a fines de los años 1940 y principios de los 1950, antes que el impacto medioambiental negativo del DDT fuera ampliamente comprendido.Más tarde se vendió con el nombre "FLIT MLO". Su comercialización ha sido discontinuada. El rocío del insecticida se realizaba con un dispositivo manual llamado Flit-gun (""). La marca FLIT ha sido reutilizada para otro producto insecticida, cuyo ingrediente activo primario es la Permetrina, comercializada por Clarke Mosquito Control.​ El producto actual es más a menudo utilizado para controlar mosquitos adultos. Rociarlo en el aire mata mosquitos adultos que se hallan en el aire y luego, al fijarse sobre las superficies, mata los mosquitos que puedan aterrizar más tarde. (es)
