Abstract: A water-soluble polymeric fishing lure coating having a odoriferous fish-attractant material dispersed therein. A composition for application onto fishing lures to provide olfactory stimulation of fish includes a volatile solvent, a polymeric material dissolved in the solvent and capable of forming a water-soluble coating, and an fish-attractant material dispersed in the solution. A method for imparting an olfactory stimulus to a fishing lure includes applying such composition onto the lure, preferably by spraying, dipping or brushing, and then exposing the lure to air for volatilization of the solvent.

Abstract: An improved mosquito coil composition comprising from 72-83% by weight based on dry ingredients of a carrier selected from sawdust having a particle size between 70 and 200 mesh, coconut shell flour, pyrethrum marc, and mixtures thereof, from 16-26% by weight based on dry ingredients potato starch and 0.5-3% by weight based on dry ingredients of an insecticide. The process comprises dispersing the starch in water heated to a temperature of from 40.degree.-65.degree. C., adding water having a temperature of between 80.degree.-95.degree. C. to the dispersed water-starch mixture, mixing the starch-water gel with the filler and insecticide, extruding the mixture into a ribbon, forming the mosquito coils from this ribbon, and drying the formed mosquito coils.
