The present invention relates to a pesticidal control device that includes at least one pesticidal active ingredient, cellulose fibers, and a polymer or polymer matrix. The combination of the cellulose fibers with the polymer allows for a higher loading of liquid pesticidal active ingredients within the pesticidal control device, maintains the active ingredient within the control device during transportation, storage and handling, and provides higher efficacy or control of pests during treatment. The pesticidal control device may be an ear tag, collar, or bee strip.

Pesticidal control device with high load of active ingredient

A method of producing a self-take anthelmintic that includes active components that are undesirable to at least one sense of a target animal. The active ingredients including praziquantel are mixed with artificial beef and yeast components and subjected to a first compression. The resulting rough tablet is then ground to increase the density of the material by approximately 100% of the original density. Thereafter, the material is subjected to a second compression to form a final self-take tablet.
