  • PEST CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR
    Publication number: 20060021275
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a pest by at least partially coating the pest with a particulate material that incorporates a killing or behavior-modifying agent. The method and apparatus involve drawing the pest sufficiently close to a surface bearing the particulate material, which is rendered airborne by movement of the pest in the region of the surface. The particulate material is electrostatically charged when rendered airborne, so as to be electrostatically attracted and attached to the pest.
