Abstract: A method of killing organisms such as an individual living thing as a person, animal or plant such as brush, weeds and unwanted plants on terrestrial terrain by selecting hollow capsules formed by a frangible or non-frangible membrane, filling such capsules with respective charges of chemicals known and register by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and labeled as liquid, fluid, solid powder, granules or gas of the type to which such organisms are susceptible to provide a supply of such charged capsules. Selecting a repeater capsule firing gun of the type incorporating a mechanism having sufficient propulsion to transmit a certain minimum muzzle velocity to such capsules in a repetitive manner, transporting such guns by automobile, truck, human or animals over such terrain. Shooting a quantity of such capsules at each organism from a range sufficiently close to cause the organisms to tear open and rupture upon impact to thereby penetrate and deposit the lethal toxin into the organisms.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for killing moss growing on a moss-covered surface by sprinkling in dry or wet form a moss-killing powder containing an atomized elemental metal which slowly dissolves with water to form a biocidal solution which kills moss. In the preferred embodiment, a moss-killing powder dry or wet consists essentially of finely powdered atomized elemental zinc and copper mixed with a powdered, dispersible carrier material, such as silia clay, to which the metal particles adhere. The moss-killing powder is sprinkled on a wetted moss-covered surface dry or mixed in a slurry of water and sprinkled wet which causes the powder to initially adhere to the surface. Upon contact with rainwater, or tap water or dew the carrier soaks up water and slowly disintegrate, retaining the metal particles in close proximity so that they electrolytically react with the rainwater or tap water or dew to produce a biocidal solution which kills moss. Gradually the carrier disperses or dissolves and disappears.

Abstract: A composition and method is disclosed for healing, preserving and penetration, and killing and preventing fungus growth on mammals with ungulates. In the preferred embodiment hoof lotion with a composition of linseed oil, lanolin, terpentine, pine tar, hydrogen peroxide, iodine and copper sulphate are blended and dissolved in a biocidal solution. It is sprayed on the affected area of the hoof, with a easy to use finger trigger spray nozzle that is fasten to a hand held bottle, to which the lotion in amounts sufficient to prevent fungi and the protection and maintenance of health on said mammals with ungulates adheres. Is evenly distributed in the composition such that the dispersal is uniformly. It is highly effective for killing and preventing fungal growths, and it heals cracks, brittle surfaces, dryness, and moisture problems in and around the coronet bands, sole, frog, walls, and heel.

Abstract: A molluscicide composition is provided which is highly effective and environmentally safe. The composition includes a carrier compound, an attractant, and a molluscicide agent. The attractant consists of metaldehyde and the molluscicide agent consists of atomized powdered elemental aluminum. Wheat, barley, oats, corn and mill-run bran are used as the carrier compounds. In a preferred form of the invention, a preservative, a dispersing agent and water are added to enhance the preparation and stability of the composition. The composition may be applied in meal, pellet, cake or slurry form. It is highly effective in killing terrestrial molluscs (slugs and snails) while avoiding the environmental and efficacy problems of other molluscicide compositions, including those using metaldehyde as the sole molluscicide agent.

Abstract: A method for killing water borne microorganisms comprises reacting two electrolytically-reactive elemental metals in water to dissolve sufficient metal ions to kill algae and coliform bacteria, without making the water unsafe for human use. Lead, copper and zinc are examples of such metals. Apparatus for performing the method comprises a perforated container of chips of such metals. A small version of the device can be used in toilet reservoirs to prevent the growth of microorganisms within the toilet bowl. A larger version of the device, submerged in a swimming pool, effectively prevents the growth of algae or coliform bacteria, substantially reducing or eliminating the need for chlorine. One embodiment of the device has an elongated cylindrical container with perforated side and bottom walls and a hook at its upper end for suspending the device in a swimming pool or toilet reservoir.

Abstract: A device for killing moss on rooftops comprises an elongated bimetallic trough for horizontal positioning along a rooftop to catch rainwater. In one embodiment the walls of the trough include a layer of copper and a layer of lead sandwiched together. Small holes through such layers, and spaced apart in rows along a wall of the trough, slowly drain the rainwater onto the rooftop. As the water passes through the holes, contacting the junction of the lead and copper layers, an electrolytic action occurs in which ions of the metal dissolve into the water. The resultant electrolyte kills the moss. Another embodiment comprises a plastic trough having holes in one side and containing pieces of lead and copper.
