Insecticide composition wherein the active ingredient comprises the combination of a neonicotinoid insecticide, thiamethoxam as synthetic insecticide molecule, and at least one synergistic agent, which is chosen among the insect repellent agents such as DEET and/or IR3535 and present at a molar ratio of said synergistic agent to thiamethoxam comprised between O.OOI and 0.2 in the composition. Synergistic effect is observed at low doses. Use of the insecticide composition wherein said composition is sprayed or deposited on, or impregnated to a support, such as net, fabrics, cloth or tent, in the fight against insects which are harmful to human, to animals and/or to crops, and in particular against pyrethroid, carbanate and/or organophosphate resistant mosquitoes.

A binder, and related processes, has been developed for biological agent defeat formulations. This highly iodinated binder is based on the polymer polyethylene tetraiodoterephthalamide. The materials have been formulated with metal fuel particles, such as aluminum, and various oxidizers, such as metal oxides. The binder-thermite composites may be actuated to initiate oxidation, therein generating heat. Upon thermal decomposition of these materials, iodine, a biocide, is released allowing for sterilization of biological agents.
