This study evaluated the residual efficacy of three different deltamethrin formulations comprising a liquid suspension, wettable granules, and a microencapsulated formulason against laboratory strains (LS) and field-collected wild strains (WS) of Aedes aegypti under semi-held conditions using standard WHO cone bioassays across three vertical indoor resting heights up to Day 112. When evaluated against the laboratory strain (LS), all applicable formulations demonstrated consistently high susceptibility and robust control through Day 112, the liquid suspension and wettable granules maintained exceptionally high, stable control through Day 84 with mortalities reaching 100% before declining by Day 112 (72.22± 14.98% for liquid suspersion and 889 ± 1.92% for wettable gram) while the microencapsulated formulation sustained high control reaching 94.48 ± 3.47% by Day T12. In stark contrast, testing against the wild strain (WS) exposed severe performance variations that scientifically justify the necessity of Seld-strain evaluations. Specifically testing for the liquid suspension formulation was restricted exclusively to laboratory trials due to anticipated rapid eld degradation. Meanwhile, the wettable granules achieved high mortality spikes up to 100% on certain evaluation days (such as Day 42 and Day 112) and remained relatively stable without dropping below 50% mortality, though they still cohibited noticeable performance fluctuations across the evaluation period. Finally, the microencapsulated formulation utilized a specialized polymer layer covering the active ingredient, which inherently resulted in a delayed initial mortality response against the wild strain, showing lower figures on Day 7 (55.79 ± 8.34%) and Day 28 (5111 ± 12.62%), but its performance steadily climbed starting from Day 42 (76.22 ± 18.69%) and achieved robust vector suppression exceeding 50% mortality by Day 12 (reaching 78 ± 3.85%). Overall, residual efficacy differed among deltamethrin formulations and between laboratory and wild strains of Aedes aegyp demonstrating the importance of field-based evaluations for effective vector control
