  • Patent number: 9675068
    Abstract: A composition and method of eliminating pests combines water and a solid form of sodium lauryl sulfate to form a pesticide composition effective to cause mortality in pests. The composition is applied to the indoor structure in an area which the pests inhabit. The sodium lauryl sulfate can be in needle form, pellet form or powder form and constitutes between about 1% and about 10% by weight of the pesticide composition. The composition may be applied to an area inhabited by cockroaches, including, but not limited to, in crevices, cracks, corners, wall and floor junctures or other enclosed or partially enclosed areas of a structure.

  • Patent number: 5820855
    Abstract: Novel insecticidal compositions are described which are particularly effective against insect pests such as cockroaches, ants, termites, crickets, flies and the like, which contain an effective amount of insecticide and a synergistic effective amount of water powder. The compositions, preferably using boric acid as an insecticide, and preferably in the form of a paste or dust bait, kill such pests more quickly or allow lower concentrations of insecticide to be used in such compositions.
