William N. Sullivan was an American entomologist who is widely credited with co-inventing the aerosol bomb or "bug bomb," with Lyle D. Goodhue, while employed by the United States Department of Agriculture. The "bug bomb" was developed for aircraft disinsection through the dispersion of insecticide for controlling mosquitoes.
