The present invention relates to liquid termiticide compositions comprising a pyrethroid and a neonicotinoid selected from the group consisting of imidacloprid, nithiazine, thiamethoxam, dinotefuran, nitenpyram, thiacloprid and clothianadin, these compositions result in an increase in termite mortality at low application rates and a continuous chemical barrier of a termiticide in soil surrounding and beneath a structure in a locus where termites are suspected or known to exist.

Liquid termiticide compositions of pyrethroids and neonicitinoids

The present invention relates to liquid termiticide compositions comprising a pyrethroid and a neonicotinoid selected from the group consisting of imidacloprid, nithiazine, thiamethoxam, dinotefuran, nitenpyram, thiacloprid and clothianadin, these compositions result in an increase in termite mortality at low application rates and a continuous chemical bather of a termiticide in soil surrounding and beneath a structure in a locus where termites are suspected or known to exist.

The present invention is directed to a method of protecting a man made structure containing wood and cellulose materials from subterranean termite damage, including reducing termite tubing on building surfaces, comprising applying a termiticidal composition in a band to the lowest portions of the interior and/or exterior surfaces of the structure, wherein the composition comprises a bifenthrin component.

Method for controlling subterranean termite activity by forming a barrier

The present invention relates to an insecticidal composition comprising a pyrethroid and a second insecticide selected from the group consisting of imidacloprid, nithiazine, thiamethoxam, dinotefuran, nitenpyram, thiacloprid, clothianidin and chlorfenapyr, with significantly improved knockdown and mortality characteristics when applied to general household pests.

Insecticidal compositions for control of general household pests

The present invention relates to an insecticidal composition of bifenthrin and acetamiprid with significantly improved knockdown and mortality characteristics when applied to general household pests.

Bifenthrin/acetamiprid compositions for control of general household pests

The present invention relates to the promotion of a continuous chemical barrier of a soil-born invertebrate pest control agent in soil in a locus where soil-borne invertebrate pests are suspected or known to exist. In particular the present invention relates to compositions of liquid soil-borne invertebrate pest control agents and selected adjuvants wherein the adjuvant improves the downward and lateral movement in the soil of the soil-born invertebrate pest control agent contained in the liquid soil-borne invertebrate pest control agent. The invention set forth herein finds particular utility with soil-born invertebrate pest control agents with a water solubility of 3 ppm, or less, such as bifenthrin.

Effectiveness of invertebrate pest-control agents

The present invention relates to an ant or yellow jacket bait that is particularly effective for controlling carpenter ants. The bait is comprised mostly of sugars in a viscous and fluid form that may be readily dispensed into an ant station at room temperatures, and provides a moist, sweet surface that is attractive to ants.

Bait for controlling carpenter ants

The present invention relates to an ant or yellow jacket bait that is particularly effective for controlling carpenter ants. The bait is comprised mostly of sugars in a viscous and fluid form that may be readily dispeised into an ant station at room temperatures, and provides a moist, sweet surface that is attractive to ants.

The invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling termites. The invention provides a more attractive and durable termite bait by providing a thin flat block of wood with grooves and impregnating the surface of the wood with a slow acting toxicant.

Termite bait

Arthropod containment devices are provided comprising a base plate having a first face, a second face opposite the first face, an outer edge between the first face and the second face; and a containment ridge protruding from the first face along at least a portion of the outer edge, the containment ridge defining a containment region proximate the first face. Also provided are arthropod containment devices comprising a base plate having a first face and a second face opposite the first face, a plurality of guide ridges that protrude from the first face and define at least one containment region, and an arthropod toxicant coated upon or positioned within the containment region.

Apparatus and methods for controlling arthropods

The invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling termites. The invention provides a tamper resistant bait station, which uses a cellulose bait impregnated with a slow acting toxicant and readily allows entry of termite.

Termite bait station

The invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting and controlling termites. The invention uses a tubular body with a triangular cross section to hold a cellulose bait impregnated with a slow acting toxicant. The tubular body is placed partly in the ground so that the length of the tubular body is along the surface of the ground. The top of the tubular body is transparent so that one can easily view the bait through the top of the tubular body.

Sectional bait station

Methods for controlling insects under solid substrates are provided comprising the steps of providing a substrate that overlays a region in which insects are suspected to reside, the substrate having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and at least one aperture between the surfaces; and inserting a baiting material into the aperture such that the baiting material extends through the substrate into the region.
