The present disclosure provides solid compositions comprising a sorbent and an active composition, as well as delivery devices comprising the solid compositions. The disclosure also provides methods of making the solid compositions, as well as methods of utilizing the solid compositions as a pest repellant and as attractant for targets.

A plastic material for extended release of a bio-active agent, the plastic material comprising a structural polymer, at least one bio-active ingredient embedded within the structural polymer as solid islands, a liquid binding material embedded within the structural polymer as granules, and a carrier liquid absorbed within the liquid-absorbent material. The carrier liquid may be sufficiently non-compatible with the structural polymer so that at least a portion of the carrier liquid is released from the liquid-absorbent material through the structural polymer to an outer surface of the plastic material over a period of time, such as a week or more, a month or more, or about three months. The bio-active agent comprised in the at least one bio-active ingredient may be sufficiently soluble in the carrier liquid at room or body temperature so that the carrier liquid released to the outer surface comprises the bio-active agent in solution.

A wearable device for repelling head-lice is disclosed comprising a fastener for holding the device in contact with head-hair, and a container attached to the device, the container is adapted to hold an absorbent material out of contact with the head hair. The absorbent material may be suitable to absorb a lice-repellent material, and to release the lice-repellent in the form of gas.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to treatments for ringworm on biotic and abiotic surfaces. According to one aspect, a concentrated antimicrobial solution is provided. The concentrated solution includes an antimicrobial composition, a solubilizing agent, and an essential oil. The concentrated antimicrobial solution can be mixed with water, and the resulting solution can be used to disinfect abiotic surfaces from ringworm. According to another aspect, an antimicrobial cream is provided. The antimicrobial cream includes a carrier including a humectant and an antimicrobial composition dispersed in the carrier at 1% w/v or greater.

A trichome and pistil maturing bud finisher plant treatment formula to which plants, pollinators, and humans respond favorably but which deters insects and contagions. The formulas include a series of edible spices claimed in specific ratios. The spices comprise food grade products manufactured for human consumption and specifically comprise Garlic, Ginger, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Clove, Black Pepper, Powdered Ancho Chili, Coriander, Cayenne, Cumin, Fenugreek, Nutmeg, and Oregano. In the bud finisher formula, these spices are mixed with potassium bicarbonate in a first container in relative quantities. Meanwhile, the bud finisher formula requires mixing sesame oil with apple cider vinegar, also in a particular ratio. The bud finisher formula matures pistils and trichomes. An alternative bud shield formula excludes the potassium bicarbonate and apple cider vinegar to also mature trichomes but matures pistils at a slower rate. After dilution the plant treatment formula is applied to all surfaces of the plant.
