Provided is an insect pest control product that is applicable to a water-based insecticidal composition and can continue to exert stable performance over a long period of time. The insect pest control product comprises a thermal vaporization/diffusion absorbent wick for vaporizing and diffusing a water-based insecticidal composition containing a pyrethroid insecticidal component having a vapor pressure of 210.sup.4 to 110.sup.2 mmHg at 30 C., a glycol ether compound and/or glycol compound having a boiling point of 150-300 C., and water. The thermal vaporization/diffusion absorbent wick has an insecticidal component/compound condensation ratio (P.sub.1/P.sub.2) within the range of 1.2-6.0, where the insecticidal component/compound condensation ratio (P.sub.1/P.sub.2) is calculated from a weight ratio (P.sub.1) of the pyrethroid insecticidal component and the glycol ether compound and/or glycol compound contained in the thermal vaporization/diffusion absorbent wick after use, and a weight ratio (P.sub.2) of the pyrethroid insecticidal component and the glycol ether compound and/or glycol compound contained in the water-based insecticidal composition before use.

A mosquito trap includes a container having an open end and a composition positioned in the container. The composition comprises at least one active agent. The mosquito trap also includes an enclosure protruding above the open end of the container. The enclosure includes an opening to access an interior of the enclosure and the open end of the container, and at least one active agent.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for pest control; and to the use of said apparatus for pest control. The apparatus comprises a hollow station forming at least one entrance for the pests to be controlled; a pheromone of a pest to be controlled; and a contact pesticide for the pests to be controlled, said contact pesticide being provided inside said hollow station, and the hollow station being designed to prevent the pests from remaining within said hollow station without expenditure of energy.

The present invention provide chemical modulators of insect olfactory receptors. In particular, compounds and compositions are provided that can inhibit host targeting functions in insects such as mosquitos. Method of employing such agents, and articles incorporating the same, are also provided.

An insecticide composition including at least one insecticide powder having a melting point above: 75? C., particularly above 100? C., more particularly above 150? C., still more particularly above 200? C., and to be applied on an electrostatic substance. The insecticide composition preferably has at least one insecticide powder being a growth regulator of the benzoylurea group. The electrostatic substance includes a platinum and/or silver complex containing substance. The insecticide composition includes at least one protective powder acting against moisture, in particular silicates, zeolites, silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate and/or diatomaceous earth. The insecticide composition may also include an insect killing fungus.

An insect attracting station comprising a housing, a first attractant, and a second attractant. The housing at least in part defines an insect-receiving chamber. The housing is adapted and configured to permit ingress of insects into the insect-receiving chamber. The first attractant is positioned external to the insect-receiving chamber. The first attractant is adapted to lure insects toward the insect-receiving chamber. The housing and the 18 second attractant are adapted and configured such that the second attractant emits an odor from the insect-receiving chamber to lure insects from outside of the insect-receiving chamber to within the insect-receiving chamber. The second attractant is different from the first attractant.

Methods are disclosed herein for at least one of (i) substantially reducing Plasmodium and/or oocyst development, (ii) substantially reducing mating success, (iii) substantially abolishing egg development after blood feeding, (iv) substantially reducing the mean survival rate; (v) substantially reducing at least one of the transmission of mosquito borne pathogens; and (vi) substantially reducing the propensity for mosquito biting comprising contacting adult, female mosquitoes with a composition comprising an effective amount of one or more non-steroidal ecdysone agonists. The one or more non-steroidal ecdysone agonists can be comprised indoor or outdoor surface.

An insect trap (100) and method for trapping and/or killing insects are disclosed. The insect trap comprises an enclosure (10) for receiving a human or an animal, and comprising an opening (12) configured to allow air to flow out of the enclosure and prevent insects from entering the enclosure, and a trapping unit (30) outside of the enclosure and in fluidic communication with the opening. The trapping unit comprises a heatable container (32) comprising either an adhesive material (31) for attracting and trapping an insect or a material comprising insecticide for killing an insect.

Compositions, formulas, methods of making, mixing and applying insecticide formulations to different surfaces such as but not limited to interior surfaces of ovitraps, on walls and on chips and tiles to produce a texturized surface to allow for better transfer of the insecticidal active ingredients to insects, such as mosquitoes and the like, which land on or crawl on the surfaces, resulting in faster insect mortality rates. The texture of the insecticidal residue provides better transfer of the insecticidal active ingredients to insects that land on or crawl on the surface, resulting in faster insect mortality. The textured residue also enhances desirable surface characteristics for landing of mosquitoes and potentially other insects.

A moving assembly has a base with a base bottom, a side wall, a rectangular conduit formed in the base bottom, and a fan with a motor mounted on the base bottom, and a collector box for collecting mosquitos. The fan functions to create a vacuum for drawing in mosquitos. A killing assembly has an upper dish and a lower dish. The upper dish has electrically charged wires. A pool in the lower dish constitutes a container for standing water. Air tubes are laterally spaced and vertically oriented. The air tubes have upper ends disposed above the pool to draw in mosquitos entering the vicinity of the upper ends and lower ends received in the rectangular conduit.
