Peet-Grady Chamber Test - Assess the efficacy of insecticide products that are intended for indoor use
Application
- A certain amount of the test product is introduced into the Peet Grady chamber.
- Next to the chamber, experimental huts are placed and treated with the test product, a negative control, and a positive control.
- Volunteers present in the huts serve as attractants for mosquito entry.
- At the end of the test period, the knockdown and mortality rate of the mosquitoes are calculated.
- Provides simulated real-world conditions to test repellent products.
- Helps in identifying the efficacy of new formulations and active ingredients.

Abstract
The Peet-Grady test chamber is employed to assess the efficacy of insecticide products that are intended for indoor use. This test is primarily applicable for coils, vaporizer mats, liquid vaporizers, ambient emanators, and aerosols.
Peet Grady Chamber specifications
- The Peet Grady Chamber is an airtight room, having dimensions of 180 cm x 180 cm x 180 cm.
- The chamber must be washed and dried prior to testing the each replicate to avoid chemical contamination.
- The temperature of the chamber is maintained between 19-29ยฐC.
- If efficacy at high temperatures is claimed, then the test will be carried out at a temperature >30ยฐC.
- A control treatment without biocide is included in all laboratory trials.
- A certain amount of the test product is introduced into the chamber.
- Next to the chamber, experimental huts are placed.
- Each hut will be treated with a test product, a negative control, and a positive control, respectively.
- Volunteers present in the huts serve as attractants for mosquito entry.
- At the end of the test period, the knockdown and mortality rates are calculated.
Importance of Peet Grady Chamber test
Insect-borne diseases pose significant challenges to public health worldwide. Additionally, the emergence of insecticide resistance is another challenging concern as insects are less susceptible to currently available vector control measures and insecticides/biocides. Hence, it is important to develop stringent and standardized approaches for determining the effectiveness of new active ingredients or formulations before market release for effective eradication of insects and vector disease control.
Peet-Grady chamber test plays a valuable role in ensuring the efficacy of insecticide products.
