The present invention relates to the field of pest control and in particular to a device (1) for controlled release and/or sustained release of the volatile substance to attract and control diptera comprising a container (2) having an opening (2a) that can have a sealing media (3) suitable to close and seal said opening (2a), wherein both the container (2) and the sealing media (3) are made of a polymeric material. The invention also relates to a method to attract and/or control diptera using said device (1).

Disclosed methods and systems for providing safe, conveniently onsite, quick and effective ways to deliver antimicrobial and antiviral treatment to objects, which include personal protective equipment such as medical N95 type masks and other medical tools and devices, as well as other objects such as cosmetics, toys, kitchen wares, electronics and myriad of others. Chlorine dioxide gas autoclaves, room and car decontaminants and deodorizers, air filters and pest control devices are also disclosed.

A plant growth promoting system according to the present invention makes foliar application of nitric oxide containing a mineral material, an enzymatic material, and a soil microorganism to a root part and leaves of a plant by pressure spraying, makes foliar application of carbonated water containing a plant growth promoter and a moisture fluctuation inhibitor to leaves of the plant by pressure spraying, and applies quantum energy to a round surface and an aerial part of the plant, thus providing the effect of promoting the growth of the plant.

The present invention relates to the use of pheromones having a high degree of purity to manufacture plastic diffusers containing an insect pheromone filler and having stiffness and fracture-resistant properties that can be used in the tensile or compressive field. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing said articles by means of injection.
