A system and method for treating items suspected of insect infestation is described. The items are placed in a treatment space inside a treatment container together with a composition comprising one or more volatile components with insecticidal activity. The composition is applied to an absorbent material capable of containing the composition in a treatment amount; and the absorbent material and the composition are enclosed in a diffuser container with perforations covering about 1 to 30% of a surface area of the walls that allow diffusion of the one or more volatile components into the treatment space.

A release device for a vaporizable and/or sublimateable pesticide is provided. The release device is suitable for use against subterranean pests (e.g. fire ants). The release device may be driven into and/or placed in a cavity within the soil or other substrate where the pests reside. The release device comprises a vapor injector which releases the pesticidal composition through apertures into the pest habitat, where it is distributed in vapor form.

Pesticidal compositions for improving physical characteristics of pesticide formulations which comprise natural pesticidal oil active ingredients are disclosed. One such composition comprises a pesticidal natural oil active ingredient, a surfactant to disperse the active ingredient in a water emulsion and a polymeric pour point depressant effective to reduce a pour point temperature of the pesticidal natural oil active ingredient. Methods for providing pesticidal compositions and application to control one or more pests are also disclosed.
