The combination of a repellent agent or an attractant agent with a wavelength-specific visual cue agent has been found to produce an unexpected and synergistic effect of increased repellency or attraction in dichromatic animals who are not maximally sensitive to the wavelength of the repellent or attractant agent. The method of the invention may be used to repel dichromatic-animal pests; or to prevent or minimize monetary damage, particularly to agricultural products, natural resources or private property. The method of the invention may also be used to attract dichromatic animals for the purpose of agricultural production, recreational opportunities (e.g., wild-rodent feeders), or the effective administration of target-animal pharmaceuticals or mitigation techniques.

Repellent and attractant composition for dichromatic animals

The invention relates to the use of a persistent, weatherable blend of a bird repellent and a paint coating composition on exterior surfaces such as wood or building materials, to deter birds from damaging such wood or building material. The bird repellent blend has improved weatherability while retaining the effectiveness of the bird repellent.

The present disclosure relates to the use of polycyclic quinones, and particularly, anthraquinones, to non-lethally repel rodents from consuming or otherwise damaging vegetation, private property, man-made structures, or agricultural products in the field and in storage. Further, the invention shows use as a protection strategy for various other products used as a food source by certain rodents.

When used as a biocide on newly butchered chickens, chlorine dioxide at concentrations of 12 to 50 ppm is effective at temperatures of 35&#xb0; C. to 90&#xb0; C. with 15 ppm being very effective at temperatures of 45&#xb0; C. to 60&#xb0; C. Chlorine dioxide in about 50&#xb0; C. water did not off gas chlorine dioxide at a concentration of 50 ppm.

Highly bacteriocidal chlorine dioxide, formulation, preparation and use thereof

A performance aid for increasing the effectiveness of a bioactive agent, and a composition including both the performance and the bioactive agent. The performance aid increases the effectiveness of the bioactive agent by providing a composition that adheres well to a surface but also increases transferability of the bioactive agent to a target animal that contacts the treated surface.

Performance aid for pesticide or repellent compositions

A composition, preferably used to reduce methane formation in a ruminant, wherein the composition is a combination of a polycyclic quinone compound and an ionophore compound.

A product and method for reducing and preventing the ingestion of substrates by avians wherein the substrates are disposed within an avian house. The product is a bird repellent in combination with a substrate disposed within an avian house. As a result of the reduced ingestion of substrates such as litter, healthier avians are achieved.

Product and method for improving avian health

A method for deterring birds from perching, roosting or loafing on plant and structural surfaces by applying to the surfaces a non-toxic composition. The non-toxic composition is one that triggers a physiological aversion mechanism in birds by a visual cue and a post-ingestinal response.

A method for reducing the level of hydrogen sulfide in water containing sulfur-reducing bacteria and hydrogen sulfide-metabolizing bacteria by addition of an aqueous solution of metallic nitrogen oxides and small particles of water-insoluble polycyclic quinones.

A method for deterring birds from damaging planted seeds by applying to the seeds before planting or to the surface of the ground overlying the planted seeds a non-toxic solid coating material which (1) is repellent to the taste of birds and (2) absorbs light having a wave length within the range of 300-400 nm.
