A mosquito control net includes an occupant chamber and a trap chamber disposed over the occupant chamber. The trap chamber has one or more openings disposed on an outer surface thereof, through which mosquitos enter the trap chamber, the openings having receptacles attached therein and extending within the trap chamber to inhibit egression of mosquitos from the trap chamber after entry. A method for preventing mosquito bites for a subject can include providing such a mosquito control net and having the subject occupy it. A kit of parts for converting a conventional mosquito control net into a trapping mosquito control net can comprise a funnel-shaped receptacle surrounded by a bag, the bag being substantially impermeable to mosquitos and the receptacle and/or the bag being attachable to a top surface of the conventional mosquito control net to form a trap compartment.

Trapping bed net for mosquito control

The invention relates to a formulation comprising: 2-undecanone in an amount of about 5% to about 50%; at least one hydrophobic base in an amount of about 5% to about 65%; at least one alcohol in an amount of about 5% to about 50%; and at least one emulsifier in an amount of about 5% to about 15% and methods of repelling insects and ticks by applying to a subject or a substrate a formulation of the invention.

Insect and tick repellent formulations and methods of use thereof

An insect-proof, form-fitting undergarment is provided having top and bottom parts formed of selected breathable materials and having omnidirectional stretch properties, and which top and bottom parts may be securely joined at the waist to prevent insect entry. A superfine knitted fabric is utilized to prevent insect bites.

Non-chemical, mosquito bite-resistant garments

Mosquito resistant textiles and garments are provided that demonstrate resistance to mosquito bites without the use of pesticides or chemicals. The textiles and garments provide 90% or more resistance to mosquito bite resistance.

Insect barrier textile liner system

A variety of agricultural spacer fabrics/textiles are provided that protect plants from insect penetration while allowing for light and air penetration, and methods of use. The textiles can be used alone or in conjunction with agents such as insecticides, insect repellants, and fungicides. The agricultural textile can have an outermost fabric layer, an innermost fabric layer, and a plurality of filaments connecting the outermost fabric layer and the innermost fabric layer.

3D spacer textiles for crop protection and insect control

The invention is directed to ovicidal compositions comprising at least 2-undecanone and/or 2-tridecanone, and methods for the use of the compositions for the killing of insect pest eggs.

Methods and compositions for killing of insect pest eggs

Disclosed are microbial cells useful for degrading insecticides and chlorinated organics and for the production of a protein which degrades insecticides and chlorinated organics, which microbial cells contain and express a heterologous DNA molecule encoding an insect detoxication protein (e.g., an esterase, a cytochrome p450, a glutathione transferase). Preferably, the host cell is a bacteria which grows in soil (e.g., is from the genera Pseudomonas or Bacillus). Methods of using the cells and proteins and compositions thereof are also disclosed.
