The disclosure provides an insecticide formulation, comprising: i) a neonicotinoid optionally together with a pyrethroid; ii) an insect growth regulator; and iii) a filling agent together with a plasticizer.

A method for mosquito control is provided in the form of mosquito larvicide carrying insects which can be introduced in a mosquito population to thereby control the mosquito population. The larvicide carrier insects may include artificially generated adult insect carriers of a mosquito larvicide in which the mosquito larvicide has minimal impact on the adult insect carrier and which mosquito larvicide affects juvenile mosquito survival or interferes with metamorphosis of juvenile mosquitoes to adulthood. The larvicide carrier insects may be either male or female and may include mosquitoes and non-mosquito insects.

A compound of Formula I and formulations including such a compound may be used for the reduction of infestation with ectoparasites, in particular ectoparasites of the insect class, including fleas and mosquitoes, and/or ectoparasites of the arachnid class, including ticks and mites, etc. Methods for controlling ectoparasites and/or formulations including such compounds may include use as a repellent, and/or application to a mammal, e.g., a human, dog, cat, cattle, horse, or sheep, or to an object or a fabric. The form may be a topical formulation, a shampoo composition, a cleansing composition, or a treatment composition, preferably a lotion, cream, ointment, gel, foam, patch, powder, solid, sponge, tape, vapor, paste, tincture, or spray.

Production of a high efficiency arthropod repellent by chemically transforming a substance used by mosquitoes as an attractant, the lactic acid, as well as lactates, in this case (S)-ethyl lactate, which is an essential attractant for A. aegypti females. The hydroxyl functional group of lactic acid must be transformed into esters, and the carboxylic acid functional group into amides, since esters and amides are functional groups already present in other repellents, such as in the structure of DEET, IR 3535 and dimethyl phthalate. The ester functional group of (S)-ethyl lactate must undergo a reaction in which the acyl functional group is substituted by an amine of interest and the hydroxyl functional group must be acylated. The structure of an attractant, or a derivative thereof, is transformed into a high efficiency repellent.
