Water-based formulations (EW) are provided containing no VOC's or alternatively are low in VOC's for wide area space spray to control mosquitoes, flies, and other public health pests. Application via ULV, these formulations have been observed to provide significantly superior control of pests when compared to competitive adulticides. The present formulations provide exceptional preservation of both droplet density in the spray cloud and droplet size as measured by volume mean diameter (VmD). The present formulations provide superior bio-efficacy as measured by both mortality and knockdown of target organisms. The present formulations provide superior biological control, droplet density, and droplet size when applied at concentrations 20-80× less than competitive formulations.

Sprayable compositions comprising a pyrethroid, a viscosity building agent, an emulsifier or surfactant, and an emollient are provided. The compositions have a viscosity that allows for delivery of the spray from a pressurized container such that the pyrethroid is administered in a consistent amount that uniformly covers the body of a subject. This obviates the need to rub the composition into the skin. In preferred embodiments, the pyrethroid is permethrin; the viscosity building agent is selected from the group consisting of carbomers, xanthan gum, or a combination thereof; the emulsifier or surfactant is selected from the group consisting of glyceryl mononstearate, PEG40 hydrogenated castor oil, cholesterol, steareth-10, steareth-20, and combinations thereof; and the emollient is selected from the group consisting of C12-C15 alkyl benzoates, diisopropyl adipate, silicon oil, mineral oil, or any combination thereof.

A protein product capable of immobilizing a target and being cleared as required includes a protein (lysozyme, bovine serum albumin (BSA), whey albumin, insulin, α-lactalbumin, fibrinogen, ribonuclease A, cytochrome c, α-amylase, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), pepsin, myoglobin, collagen, keratin, or the like), a protein modifier (a strong oxidizing agent or a strong reducing agent), and a matter to be immobilized (a coating, a pesticide, a chemical fertilizer, a cosmetic, a medical drug, or the like). A protein film can be generated through the phase transition of the protein to immobilize the matter to be immobilized on a target surface, thereby improving the utilization rate of the matter to be immobilized and reducing the resource waste and environmental pollution caused by the loss of the matter to be immobilized. In addition, after the protein film is decomposed, the matter to be immobilized will also be effectively cleared.
