Abstract: A trap for immobilizing, killing, or containing arthropods comprises a housing having walls and at least one opening, where the walls define an interior space; and a light source comprising a directional light source mounted in the interior space. The light source is constructed to emit light at one or more wavelengths ranging from 350 to 500 nm. The light source is positioned so that a majority of the light emitted from the light source is directed at one or more surfaces in the interior space. The trap also comprises a suppression element mounted in the interior space and constructed to immobilize, kill, or contain arthropods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for reducing the population of (e.g., killing) arthropods employing compositions including medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, and to the compositions. The methods include applying a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition to an arthropod or a surface or area suspected of housing an arthropod.

Abstract: An insect trap comprises a housing, an ultraviolet light with a peak wavelength of 340 to 380 nm operatively connected to the housing, and a bait including an attractant proximate the ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light and the bait in the housing have a synergistic effect that is greater than a sum of the ultraviolet light alone and the bait alone.

Abstract: Compositions, methods-of-preparing, and methods-of-use of a water-based rapid acting insecticidal bait containing a stabilized water-sensitive insecticide as an active ingredient are described. Also described is a storage stable composition containing the water-sensitive insecticide and an insecticide stabilizer, such as boric acid or a nanoparticle. The composition can be easily applied into cracks, crevices, voids, or other pest harborage areas to rapidly kill insect pests, particularly cockroaches.
