摘要:
A power management system for providing power to a heater (22) in order to vapourize a chemical formulation into surrounding atmosphere having pulse generation means for supplying pulses of energy, switch means (14) connected to the pulse generation means and the heater (22). The switch means (14) receives the pulses of energy from the pulse generation means and delivers amplified pulses of energy to the heater (22) at a rate controlled by the pulse generation means in order to sufficiently heat the heater (22) to vapourize the chemical formulation.

A substance delivery device is provided which provides for long-term release of active substances such as insecticides from a substrate impregnated with the active substances. Also provided is a method for producing the device and the use of the device in the delivery one or more active substances to the atmosphere.
摘要:
A combustible pesticidal product is disclosed which comprises a structural element formed from a pulp of organic fibrous material, cellulose fibres, wood free fibres or mixtures thereof, the product including one or more pesticides which product on combustion emanates the pesticide into the atmosphere. Typically the combustible product will be a mosquito coil which has been impregnated with one or more insecticides effective against mosquitoes. On combustion of the coil, insecticide is emanated into the atmosphere for a period of 7-8 hours.

The present invention is directed to a mousetrap comprising: an enclosure comprised of a top, a base and apertures located on each of the top and the base, wherein the enclosure is in an open position upon substantial alignment of the apertures; and a trigger mechanism comprising a lever arrangement and a biasing means operably connected to the top and the base, wherein the lever arrangement defines a gap through which a mouse is able to move through and as a result, raise the lever, wherein the enclosure, when in the open position, is able to admit the mouse into the enclosure and when in the closed position, the trapped mouse is substantially concealed within the enclosure, the mousetrap being set to trap the mouse by manual rotation of the top relative to the base to open the enclosure by substantial alignment of the apertures, the enclosure being held open against the force of the biasing means by engagement of the lever arrangement with a stop means, the mousetrap being activated to trap the mouse by the entry of the mouse into the enclosure causing the lever arrangement to disengage from the stop means thereby causing the top to contra-rotate relative to the base under the force of the biasing means so as to close the enclosure, thereby trapping the mouse and substantially concealing the trapped mouse within the enclosure. The present invention further provides a mousetrap comprising an enclosure having an aperture through which a mouse enters and an enclosure floor; the mousetrap further comprising a trap mechanism disposed within the enclosure; the trap mechanism comprising at least a biasing means, a trigger and a trap wire with the trap wire being connected to the biasing means and arranged so as to allow the trap wire to be set, through engagement with the trigger, to a first position against the force of the biasing means in which the mousetrap is setto trap a mouse;the trap mechanism being arranged such that entry of the mouse into the enclosure and depression of the trigger by the mouse causes the trigger to disengage from the trap wire which, through the force of the biasing means, is caused to move from the first position to a second position thereby trapping the mouse between the trap wire and floor, wherein the trigger and opening are arranged so as to substantially conceal and isolate the trapped mouse from the external environment.

摘要:
An insecticidal bait composition which is particularly useful against social insects, such as cockroaches and ants is disclosed. The bait composition comprises a solid or semi-solid bait matrix including a food material for an insect and one or more non-microencapsulated insecticides in an amount effective to act essentially as a primary kill agent and one or more microencapsulated insecticides, excluding pyrethroids, in an amount effective to act essentially as a secondary kill agent, the non-microencapsulated insecticide and microencapsulated insecticide being the same or different.
摘要:
An insect-attracting insecticidal aerosol spray composition containing an insect-attracting effective amount of 1 to 10 % w/w of lauric acid, d-limonene, orange oil or mixtures thereof.
摘要:
The invention provides a packaging means for retaining vapour active pyrethroids comprising a holder and a cellulosic based substrate or matrix (5) impregnated and/or dosed with the vapour active pyrethroid, wherein the holder comprises a top (1), a base (3) and a longitudinal member (11) vertically extending from between the top (1) and base (3), and wherein the cellulosic matrix (5) 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.
摘要:
A device for enabling vapourization of a chemical formulation into an atmosphere comprising means (4) for receiving a cartridge including the chemical formulation, aperture means (3) to enable vapourized chemical formulation to be guided therethrough into the atmosphere, wherein the chemical formulation contacts a heater means in order to vapourize the chemical formulation.
