Abstract: A method of controlling parasites in or on an animal comprising administering to the animal a parasiticidally effective, substantially non-emetic 1-arylpyrazole.

Abstract: A housing is provided for a station or device adapted for monitoring and/or controlling termites or other insects, and which is adapted to be situated in or on soil or sand. The housing contains a substance attractive for termite exploration and/or termite feeding, and comprises at least one wall and at least one surface, which surface defines at least one path attractive to termites, such as a groove or a channel. The housing can be adapted to receive a second insect monitoring and controlling device.

Abstract: A herbicidal composition comprising: (a) isoxaflutole; (b) glyphosate or glufosinate or a salt thereof; and (c) a stabilizing amount of at least one compound selected from (i) glycol, (ii) polyethylene glycol, (iii) polypropylene glycol, (iv) glycerol, (v) esters of (i) to (iv), and (vi) ethers of (i) to (iv).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed which are useful for detecting the presence of various pesticides, including aryl pyrazoles such as fipronil. Pesticide residues are extracted from a variety of samples, including soil and/or water samples using techniques well known to those of skill in the art. The samples are then concentrated, and transferred to an solid phase extraction cartridge. The SPE cartridge includes activated charcoal, silica gel, magnesium-silica gel and an amino-functional silica sorbent, or suitable equivalents thereof. After cleanup, the eluate containing the analyte of interest can be concentrated to a standard sample size and the amount of pesticide residues quantitated. In a preferred embodiment, the column chromatography materials are assembled in a solid phase extraction cartridge with frits between the chromatography materials. This facilitates the use of the cartridge in standard automated analytical equipment, for example, robotic equipment.

Abstract: A method of controlling parasites in or on an animal comprising orally administering to the animal a parasiticidally effective, substantially non-emetic 1-arylpyrazole.
