Solutions and formulations of pesticidal carbamates having a high carbamate content and which are stable in the long run, as during storage, and can be exposed to temperatures of from 0.degree. C. to 54.degree. C. without undergoing alterations, i.e., without forming precipitates, etc., are disclosed. The stable solutions or formulations comprise, besides the carbamates, a solvent A which can be DMF, DMA or a mixture of the two and a solvent B which is any solvent, or mixture of solvents, mixable with solvent A, with the exception of alcohols, acids and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Stable, heat-resistant solutions of pesticidal carbamates

There are disclosed solid formulations containing, as an active substance, a sex pheromone; as main vehicles, a carrier having absorbing properties and another carrier having adsorbing properties, and, furthermore, a wetting agent, a dispersant, a sticker, an ultraviolet (U.V.) stabilizer, an antioxidant and, optionally, a film-forming resin. Such formulations are utilized to control insects. In particular, the disclosed formulations contain, as an active substance, a sex pheromone of insects and, as a main vehicle, a mixture composed of a carrier having absorbing properties, and of another carrier having adsorbing properties, and are utilized to prevent insects from mating (mating disruption).

Solid formulations containing pheromones and method of using same

There are disclosed solid formulations having, as an active substance, a sex pheromone, more particularly a sex pheromone of insect, supported by an inert carrier coated with a film-generating resin, and as components: a wetting agent, a dispersant, a sticker, an ultraviolet stabilizer and an antioxidant. Said formulations are used to control insects by hindering mating of the insects (mating disruption).

The invention concerns new liquid pesticide compositions with two or three components and which have as an active substance the monomethylamide of the O,O-dimethyldithiophosphorylacetic acid. These compositions are particularly well suited for being spread from aircraft.
