Abstract: A micro layering pest control system that includes combining generally immiscible ingredients in a container, maintaining the ingredients in a combined state by substantially continuously agitating and homogenizing the combined ingredients under pressure, and discharging the combined ingredients in one or more applications. The system further includes selecting an insecticide for controlling certain insects and selecting an oil, based on predetermined conditions, for mixing and applying to animals via the micro layering pest control system.

Abstract: A micro layering pest control system that includes combining generally immiscible ingredients in a container, maintaining the ingredients in a combined state by substantially continuously agitating and homogenizing the combined ingredients under pressure, and discharging the combined ingredients in one or more applications.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes at least two substantially parallel pressure sensing members adapted to detect location of an animal foot. The apparatus also includes a system for delivering ingredients to the pressure sensing members, and a system for discharging the ingredients on the animal foot.

Abstract: The specification and drawing figures describe and show a micro layering pest control system that includes combining generally immiscible ingredients in a container, maintaining the ingredients in a combined state by substantially continuously agitating and homogenizing the combined ingredients under pressure, and discharging the combined ingredients in one or more applications.

Abstract: A mixture for application on an animal to provide barrier protection against insects, parasites, arachnids and/or other arthropods, and ectoparasites, and in general viruses, bacteria and/or other microorganisms is provided. The mixture includes a carrier or combination of carriers, especially mineral oil, that at least after application has an absolute or resultant viscosity of from 100 to 1200, and especially greater than 120, and especially 300 to 650 S.U.S. The mixture also includes an insecticide, ectoparasitide, insect or other arthropod growth regulator (IGR), viricide, bacteriacide and/or bacteriostatic compound that is blended with the carrier and that acts non-systemically. The mixture contains essentially no surfactant, emulsifier, or emulsifying agent, either in solution or suspension.

Abstract: This abstract is provided to allow determination of the subject matter of the disclosure but not for interpretation or meaning of any claim. The specification and drawing figures described and show an animal foot treatment system that includes one or more mats. The mats include pressure-sensing plates. On application of foot pressure to the pressure sensing plates, and/or on removal of foot pressure from the pressure sensing plates, the pressure sensing plates send one or more signals to a processor. The processor causes an array of dispensers to discharge ingredients for treatment of animal foot problems on the foot that as either been applied to the mats or lifted from the mats. A tank is provided for holding the ingredients. A pump conveys the ingredients from the tank to the array of dispensers. A mat-flushing device also is included for removal of debris from the animal foot treatment system.

Abstract: A mixture for application on an animal to provide protection against insects, parasites, arachnids and/or other anthropods, and ectoparasites and endoparasites in general, viruses, bacteria and/or other microorganisms is provided. The mixture includes a carrier, especially mineral oil, having a viscosity of from 150 to 600, and especially 225 to 450, centistokes. The mixture also includes an insecticide, ectoparasitide, endoparasitide, viricide and/or bacteriacide that is blended with the carrier.
