Abstract: An insect control tape that includes a substrate having a longitudinal direction with a first face and a second face opposite the first face. An insecticide or other pest control agent is applied to the first face in a longitudinal strip with adjacent side regions that are free of the agent. An adhesive covers at least part of the second face to anchor the tape on a floor. A web covers the first face and the agent. A consumer can press the tape down on a floor by contacting the web to install the tape, with reduced risk of contacting active, while still permitting crawling insects such as roaches to normally contact the active as they crawl over the tape.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are mats for dispensing volatile vapors such as insecticides. The mats are multi-layered. One layer is a carrier layer impregnated with the volatile. It is secured to at least one metal layer. The metal layer spreads the heat from a heater, thereby minimizing hot spots. In other embodiments additional layers are provided to provide a further heat distribution or temperature step down. An air gap can be provided between two of the layers.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices for dispensing volatile vapors such as insecticides. Table-like carrier members provide a compartment for the volatile material. One or more table leg structures extend down from a table top to support a cavity in the table top a distance above a burner element. This results in more moderate and uniform heating, thereby permitting efficient release of the volatile material over a longer period of time. In some versions the table leg structures and table top are formed as separate pieces and designed to permit side-to-side ventilation under the volatile.
