Abstract
An insect control article to control flying insects. The insect control article has a substrate that is impregnated with an active insect control ingredient that is available for passive evaporation. The active insect control ingredient is selected from the group consisting of transfluthrin, prallethrin, tefluthrin, esbiothrin, and combinations thereof. The method of the invention for controlling flying insects includes providing an insect control article having a substrate that is impregnated with an active insect control ingredient available for passive evaporation, wherein the active insect control ingredient is selected from the group consisting of transfluthrin, prallethrin, vaporthrin, teflurthrin, esbiothrin, DDVP, and combinations thereof. The insect control article is then placed in an environment with air movement in such a manner that the substrate of the insect control article is exposed to the air movement, and the active insect control ingredient impregnated within the substrate is allowed to evaporate passively into the air.
