  • Insect control pouch
    Patent number: 6360477
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an article (such as an insect control pouch) to dispense a volatile active (such as an insect control agent). The pouch is formed from a single layer polymeric non-absorbing film. The pouch traps the active until use of the pouch is desired. When the pouch is opened the walls of the pouch serve as a substrate from which the active can readily passively evaporate. Methods of forming such pouches using heat sealing techniques, and methods of using such pouches, are also disclosed.
