  • Miticidal composition
    Patent number: 4870102
    Abstract: A composition and method for killing or controlling mites by contacting them with a mixture of certain organo-tin compounds, preferably tri-(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl) tin hydroxide, and a salt of a fatty acid, primarily sodium or potassium fatty acid soaps. The components of the composition interact to yield a miticidal activity greater than the activities of the components used separately. The composition has fewer long-term environmental effects than occur with the organo-tin compound used alone.
