A natural antibacterial and antiviral biological composition is provided for use in hospitals and homes, in particular a composition that includes ricinoleic acid derived from the extraction of castor oil, diethanolamine and propolis, a method for obtaining the composition, and the use thereof. The invention can be used to control various pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria belonging to the Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter and Bacillus genera; as well as hospital-environment fungi (filamentous and yeast-like) and phytopathogenic fungi (Colletrotichum fragariae). The product can be sprayed on biotic and abiotic surfaces, and non-woven fabric can subsequently be used to remove organic matter, including microorganisms. The product can also be used to disinfect medical, dental and hospital items by immersion followed by quick rinsing.

Provided is an impregnated pesticide granular composition for soil application comprising: a) a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor competitive modulator or a ryanodine receptor modulator; b) a polar organic solvent having, among Hansen solubility parameters, a dP of 4.5 or larger and 11.0 or smaller, and a dH of 4.5 or larger and 11.0 or smaller; and c) a water-insoluble, oil-absorbing granular carrier having an oil absorption capacity of 1 to 70%, and a particle diameter of 0.2 to 2.0 mm, wherein the composition having a hardness of 0.2 kg or larger. According to the present invention, an impregnated pesticide granular composition for soil application that is capable of demonstrating a stable biological effect can be provided.

The present disclosure is directed to insect-resistant fabrics or garments and methods for making the same. The insect-resistant fabrics or garments include an insect repelling composition containing a micellar system and optionally an insecticide composition. As an example, an insect-resistant fabric in accordance with the disclosure can include a base fabric (e.g., polyester) having been treated to include an insect repellant composition containing a micellar system. The micellar system may include one or more insect repelling agents (e.g., essential oils) contained within one or more micelles (e.g., saponins) in a first region of the fabric, and optionally an insecticide (e.g., permethrin) in second region of the base fabric. The inclusion of a micellar system in an insect repellant composition is shown herein to provide improved insect-resistant efficacy. Additionally, certain insect-resistant fabrics disclosed herein can also demonstrate durability when exposed to wear such as laundering the garment.
