Definitions
- My present invention is generally directed to an arthropodicidally-active composition-of-matter and to its method of manufacture.
- My novel composition-of-matter is generally characterized as a stable foam matrix. Still more particularly, my novel arthropodicidally-active stable foam matrix is water-soluble.
- arthropod which is generally understood by those skilled in the art of "pest” control as connoting any member of a large group of invertebrate animals with jointed legs and segmented bodies.
- arthropod in its "generic" sense so as to include arachnids, crustaceans, insects and myriapods.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,816,610 to Lusby discloses a so-called "palatable", foamed rodent-control material.
- a rodent-control material more particularly, is said to comprise a rodent control agent such as a rodenticide which, in turn, is interspersed throughout a so-called “plastic foam cellular” structure.
- the foam cellular structure is produced by combining isocyanate with a mixture consisting of a polyol, a catalyst, a blowing agent, and a so-called “rodent- control” agent.
- Lusby discloses that such ingredients, after being thus combined, react chemically and expand in volume up to fifty (50) or more times, via so-called “foaming action”.
- Lusby further discloses that the result of such a volume expansion is the production of a low-density substance or mass (i.e., a "foam”), which is said to be able to fill up cavities and take their shape, wherein such a mass quickly becomes rigid.
- a low-density substance or mass i.e., a "foam”
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,524,911 to Leavitt discloses an insecticidal composition. More particularly, Leavitt discloses that the insecticidal composition, which is preferably utilized as an aerosol sprayable composition, comprises a so-called “substantially non-aqueous" mixture, which is said to include a toxic concentration of a vaporizable insecticide as well as a so-called “substantially inert” foam-forming carrier. After this insecticidal composition is dispensed from its aerosol spray container, the foam-forming carrier is said to form a so-called “stable” (i.e. a form-sustaining) foam. Leavitt further discloses that the insecticide is released from such a foam carrier in toxic concentrations at a controlled rate over a prolonged period of time.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,970,584 to Hart et al. discloses a personal-care foam-forming emulsion that is utilized to produce a rich, creamy, shiny foam having a so-called "fine” or "delicate bubble” structure.
- Hart et al. teach that such a foam can be utilized to produce a variety of personal-care types of products.
- Hart et al. specifically teach that such a rich, creamy, shiny foam can be utilized to produce an insect-repellent personal-care type of product.
- Hart et al. further specifically teach that their personal- care type of foam products can have certain unique characteristics which, in turn, are said to be particularly desirable in the personal-care field.
- Hart et al. point out that their foam product will have a so-called "fine” or “delicate” bubble structure, and that such a foam product will, as a result, possess desirable foam-density and foam-stiffness personal-care types of qualities.
- German Pat. (“Offenlegungsschrift”) No. 25 38 470 discloses a method for producing a pesticidally-active composition-of-matter, characterized as an attractant in admixture with a toxicant, wherein the composition-of-matter is produced by a method whereby the attractant and toxicant are absorbed into a piece of plastic foam by so-called "electrostatic" forces.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,076,744 to Geary discloses a particular insecticidal bait composition, which is said to include a so- called “polymerized aminoplast” and an insect-edible attractant in admixture with an organic insecticide.
- the attractant and the insecticide are said to be "molecularly occluded” within the polymerized aminoplast.
- Geary further discloses that the polymerized aminoplast, containing the above-mentioned "occluded” ingredients, can be crushed to a fine-particle size and thereafter spread, for example, in insect-infested areas.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,791,983 to Maierson discloses certain sprayable and so-called “aerosolizable" web-forming compositions. Such compositions, in particular, are characterized as being self-supporting, three-dimensional webs of randomly-associated, joined monofilaments ranging in average diameter of from about 1 to 10 microns.
- compositions of this sort are said to be utilizable for the purpose of encapsulating insecticidal ingredients. Insecticidal ingredients thus encapsulated can then be used to combat insects.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,286,020 to Hi el et al. also discloses a process for the encapsulation of certain insecticidal particles.
- British Pat. No. 1,107,140 to Mitchell et al. discloses an insecticidally-active oil-in-water emulsion which, after being dispensed from an aerosol-type dispenser, preferably is so formulated as to produce a spray rather than a foam.
- present-day consumers nevertheless continue to seek ever novel pesticidal compositions-of-matter for a variety of reasons. For example, easy clean-up or disposal of a variety of now- inactive pesticidal products is desirable.
- Pesticidally- active compositions are of course known, in general, to possess a finite activity period. To facilitate clean-up of compositions rendered pesticidally-inactive due to the passage of time, it would be desirable that such a pesticidally-active composition be water-soluble.
- novel pesticidally-active composition-of-matter is characterized as a stable foam matrix.
- the foam matrix can so be formulated as to be substantially stable for hours or weeks (or even months) , as desired.
- my novel composition-of-matter is water-soluble, a markedly desirable characteristic and/or quality (or feature) , which enables easy clean-up and/or disposal of the composition, after it is rendered inactive due to the passage of time.
- my novel pesticidally-active composition- of-matter is suitable for purposes of controlling a wide variety of arthropod pests.
- my novel composition-of-matter can specifically be so formulated as to be effective for controlling certain crustaceans (such as pill bugs) , or certain arachnids (such as spiders) , or a wide variety of well-known crawling insects (such as ants, cockroaches, crickets, earwigs, sewer flies, silverfish, and the like) , or certain myriapods (such as millipedes and centipedes) , or certain combinations of these classes, i.e. arachnids, crustaceans, insects and myriapods (within the phylum "arthropoda”) .
- my novel composition-of-matter can specifically be so formulated as to be effective for killing a wide variety of arthropod pests upon direct contact or upon ingestion (or both) , as desired.
- certain specific formulations of my novel composition-of-matter are effective so-called "contact-type" arthropodicides
- certain other specific formulations of my novel composition-of-matter can be so formulated as to be arthropod-edible and will be effective arthropodicides upon ingestion.

Accordingly, when employed for use against a particular arthropod, any edible material that is known to be particularly attractive to such an arthropod can of course be selected.
- the edible attractant can be sucrose, fructose, glucose, maltose, honey, molasses, brown sugar, maple sugar, fruit syrup, corn syrup, maple syrup, or beet syrup, as well as ground raisins and other ground sweet fruits.
- a corn sweetener that is presently commercially available under the "Corn Sweet 90" brand name and which includes about ninety (90) weight-parts corn-derived fructose, has been found to be particularly suitable in controlling cockroaches.
- insects may prefer particles of certain cereals, particles of certain brans or particles of certain meals of various origin.

- certain ones of the presently-known IGRs tend to closely resemble certain biological, organic-type chemicals produced by certain insects and/or plants.
- IGRs function by altering growth and development of arthropods.
- the observed effects of IGRs upon metamorphosis, upon reproduction, upon behavior, and upon embryonic, larval and nymphal development have e.g. been reported in the literature.
