Abstract: The invention relates to baits for controlling flies (fly gels) comprising a) one or more neonicotinoids, b) one or more gelling agents, c) one or more attractants, and having a gel point between having a Brookfield yield value between 150 and 1000 and a Brookfield viscosity between 40,000 and 150,000 mPa.s, to a process for the preparation of such fly gels, its use and methods for controlling flies.

Abstract: A detection device and method for monitoring infestation by insects such as bed bugs is provided. A suitable device comprises a pair of plates separated by an internal spacing sized to permit entry into the detection device by one or more insects. Also disclosed is a method for readily detecting insects such as bed bugs in a multiple areas such as in multiple hotel rooms, areas where animals are housed, or the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to immediately acting pest control compositions based on cyclic polysiloxanes, which can be employed without a residue and without a lasting action.

Abstract: The present invention relates to rodenticidal foams based on hydrophilic polymers, of the following composition:a) rodenticidal active compound,b) hydrophilic polymers having an average molecular weight of 2,000 to 60,000 (determined by means of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) from the series consisting of ling-chain polyurethanes, polyesters, polyester-polyols, polystyrenes, polybutadienes and maleic acid polymers, which are in each case modified in the polymer chain by carboxylic acid groups or amino groups,c) long-chain aliphatic C.sub.6 -C.sub.22 -fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, dodecanoic acid and stearic acid, or alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts thereof,d) and if appropriate further auxiliaries from the series consisting of dyestuffs, emulsifiers, solvents, perservatives, attractants and baits.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes and agents for combating fleas on, and in the surroundings of, domestic animals, which is characterised in that the domestic animals are treated with collars which contain active compounds which inhibit insect development.

Abstract: A composition or concentrate for preserving wood, which comprises 0.001-5% by weight of cyano-(4-fluoro-3-phenoxyphenyl)-methyl 3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and/or (pentafluorophenyl)-methyl 1R, 3R-3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate or enantiomeric compounds thereof and more than 75% by weight, preferably more than 90% by weight, of a mixture comprising at least one binder at least one diluent, and optionally at least one emulsifier and/or wetting agent or mixture thereof. The binder in the wood preservative or concentrate (calculated as solids) amounts to at least 1% by weight, preferably at least 4% by weight of the composition. An alkyd resin and/or a vegetable drying oil is preferably used in the composition as the organic binder for preventing or reducing damage to beneficial insects.
