Abstract
A method of manufacturing an insect coil includes the steps of feeding a sheet of dough material which includes an active insect control ingredient dispersed therein in a first direction, cutting the sheet of dough material with a die to form an insect coil, ejecting the insect coil from the die, and applying an extra dose of active to a specific location on the coil while the coil is being ejected from the die. Preferably, the extra dose of active is applied as a droplet using capillary forces that develop between the upper surface of the insect coil and the droplet itself and is forced through a tube located above the desired location. The insect coil may be tip treated only or may be zone treated at a plurality of spaced locations.
