Abstract: Insect control articles and methods of controlling insects comprising a cellulosic based substrate or matrix having a specified surface area impregnated and/or dosed with a vapour active pyrethroid in a carrier solvent, such that the vapour active pyrethroid is emanated into the environment at a rate of at least approximately 0.040 mg/h at a temperature of approximately 18-40° C.

Abstract: A combustible pesticidal product is disclosed which comprises a structural element formed from a cardboard having a thickness of at least 0.75 mm, a density of 450-850 kgm3 and consisting of 1 or more plies, the cardboard including: an alkali or alkaline earth metal nitrate or nitrite in an amount of from 0 to 1.83% w/w, or an alkali or alkaline earth carbonate or bicarbonate in an amount of from 0.02 to 7.0% w/w; one or more mineral silicates in an amount of from 0.01 to 8.0% w/w; a phosphate in an amount of from 0.01 to 0.40% w/w and selected from the group consisting of diammonium phosphate, monoammonium phosphate, triammonium phosphate and mixtures thereof; a boron compound in an amount of from 0.001 to 0.

Abstract: The invention provides a packaging means for retaining vapour active pyrethroids comprising a holder and a cellulosic based substrate or matrix impregnated and/or dosed with the vapour active pyrethroid, wherein the holder comprises a topl), a bases and a longitudinal member vertically extending from between the topw and base, and wherein the cellulosic matrix has a honeycomb configuration adapted to be retained between the top and base and has a surface area so as to achieve sufficient emanation of the vapour active pyrethroid to control flying insects. The invention also provides methods of emanating vapour active pyrethroids and the use of packaging means according to the invention for retaining and emanating vapour active pyrethroids.
