Abstract
Killing one or more biting arthropods selected from the group consisting of mosquitoes, bed bugs and ticks is accomplished by bringing the biting arthropods into contact with a toxic amount of a formulation comprising: (1) one or more compounds of structure (I), wherein the compounds of structure (I) comprise: wherein R is selected from the group consisting of —OH, ═O, —OC(O)R, —OR, —(OR), wherein each Ris independently selected from an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and Ris a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group with zero to two double bonds and from 1 to 15 carbon atoms: X is O or CH, with the proviso that when X is O, then R can only be ═O; each Z is independently selected from the group consisting of (CH) and (CH); y is a numeral selected from 1 and 2; Ris selected from the group consisting of H or a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group with zero to two double bonds and from 1 to 15 carbon atoms; Ris selected from the group consisting of H and a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group with zero to three double bonds and from 1 to 15 carbon atoms; Ris selected from the group consisting of H and a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group with zero to three double bonds and from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, —(CH)OH, —C(O)OR, —CHC(O)OR, —CHC(O)R, —C(O)NRR, —CHC(O)NRRwhere each of R, R, R, R, R, Rand Ris independently selected from H and a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group with zero to three double bonds and from 1 to 15 carbon atoms and n is an integer of from 1 to 12; the bond between the 2 and 3 positions in the ring structure may be a single or a double bond; and wherein the compounds of structure (I) contain from 11 to 20 total carbon atoms; and (2) one or more toxicant compounds selected from the group consisting of pyrethroids, carbamates, and organophosphates. The formulation can be a synergistic formulation.
