Abstract: An electric motor driven hand-held tool, such as a drilling, hammering or screw driving tool having a tool housing within which is located an integrated switch unit (6). The switch unit (6) includes an electronic motor control unit (8), a first actuator which is actuated by a manually operable power member (4) and to which the control unit is responsive to power the motor and a second actuator (10) which is actuated by a manually operable forward/reverse member (14) and to which the control unit is responsive to drive the motor in a selected forward or reverse direction. The forward/reverse member (14) is located remotely from the switch unit (6) on a portion of the tool housing which can be seen by a user of the tool during normal operation of the tool. To facilitate this a linkage arrangement (16) is provided for actuating the second actuator (10) in response to a manual actuation of the forward/reverse member (14). The linkage (16) is pivotally mounted on a closed end of a jam pot motor casing (3).

Abstract: A solid sick insecticidal composition comprising a base, an insecticide and at least 60 wt % food material. The stick may be used to deposit insecticide composition onto a hard surface for controlling crawling insects.

Abstract: A combustible pesticidal product is disclosed which comprises a structural element formed from a pulp of organic fibrous material, cellulose fibres, wood free fibres or mixtures thereof, the product including one or more pesticides which product on combustion emanates the pesticide into the atmosphere. Typically the combustible product will be a mosquito coil which has been impregnated with one or more insecticides effective against mosquitoes. On combustion of the coil, insecticide is emanated into the atmosphere for a period of 7-8 hours.
