Abstract: An insert for an insect control product comprising a first side and an oppositely facing second side; a first portion; a middle portion; a third portion, the middle portion being connected to the first portion and the third portion along fold lines. A formula applied on a coated region of the second side of the insert and dried, and the formula applied to a coated region of the first side of the insert and dried. The insert is folded in upon itself to take on a Z-shaped configuration or cross section, and slid into a box or housing to complete the insect control product. The insert is made by the process of placing the stamped insert on an assembly line and first coating a coated region of the second side with formula and then flipping the insert over and drying same. Then, the coated region of the first side of the insert is coated with formula, flipped over and dried.

Abstract: Aqueous based compositions for eradicating insects comprise an insecticide, such as pyrethroid and a carrier therefor wherein the carrier is in the form of an aqueous dispersion comprising starch in an amount sufficient to provide a releasable powder-like coating of the starch and insecticide on an insect controlling device, such as a paperboard insect trap. The aqueous insecticides may be applied by printing on paper, paperboard, plastic film or textiles by means employed in the corrugated paperboard industry, but may also be applied using gluing machinery, and particularly in smaller runs on modified mimeograph type duplicating equipment with a colorant. The latter printing method provides for the uniform application of insecticide onto a substrate to deliver a predetermined amount of active ingredient.

Abstract: An unstable laser resonator is controlled in polarization by the use of a control leg coupled to the parent resonator and having a linear polarization control element therein, so that control of a low power beam in said control leg serves to control the polarization of the parent resonator.

Abstract: A generally rectangular-shaped enclosure with an interior diagonal divider provides dual triangular-shaped chambers which when coated with a contact poison offers an especially effective means for reducing populations of triatomids, such as Rhodnius prolixus, the principal assassin bug responsible for transmitting deadly Chagas' disease.
