Present disclosure relates to a solvent-free method of encapsulating a hydrophobic active in personal care, hydrophobic active in crop protection or a hydrophobic active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in polymeric nanoparticles. The method includes mixing the hydrophobic active in a polymer melt, wherein the polymer melt comprises a melt of a block co-polymer, wherein the polymer melt acts as a solvent for the hydrophobic active. The method further includes maintaining the polymer melt in water for sufficient time to allow self-assembly of the block co-polymer to encapsulate the hydrophobic active therein.

An acaricide includes a surfactant and a penetrant. The acaricide has good, quick-acting effects, long effective period, safe and environment friendly, good stability, and a wide range of applications. The acaricide is not only capable of being used for exterminating agricultural and forest mites, but is also capable of being used for exterminating medical and animal husbandry mites. The acaricide has few to none drug residues and has good stability in acaricidal effect. Moreover, the acaricide is convenient to use, and may be used either alone or added directly into other insecticides.
