Abstract: Provided is a technique comprising blowing air onto a carrier having supported thereon a preparation containing a highly safe pesticidal component to vaporize and diffuse the component from the preparation under non-heating conditions thereby to control flying insect pests. An insect pest control method characterized by preparing a preparation-retaining material by supporting on a carrier a preparation containing a pesticidal component which is hard to vaporize at normal temperature, preferably at least one pesticidal component selected from compounds which are hard to vaporize at normal temperature and have a vapor pressure of lower than 1×10−3 mmHg and a boiling point of not lower than 120° C.
