Dear Steve,
Please help me...I put my foot in it by saying that less than 10% of aerially applied pesticides reached their target organism... I can not remember where I heard this.  I think I am correct but my brain damage leaves holes in my knowledge.  Can you help with a reference?

Dear Elizabeth -
I would believe it would be safe to say that far less than 1% of the aerially applied poison reaches the targeted pest --- and you may quote me.  Think about it  ---- how many mosquitoes are actually filling the air?  The poison fills the air and covers the earth!

Have a great day!  Steve.
