Mosquito control devices using durable coating-embedded pesticides

摘要

Dual action lethal containers, systems and methods and novel compositions and formulas which are used to kill mosquitoes and their larvae. Generally pyramid shaped containers can have combined interior larvacidal and adultacidal coatings above and below a side opening in the container. A removable inclined grate cap can also allow for mosquitoes to enter into the container. Inclined stacked walls inside the container form attractive surfaces for mosquitoes to breed. Water-holding containers, such as flower pots, water holding dishes used under plant pots, vases, bird baths, and fountains and storm water inlets, can be coated with novel larvicide and/or adulticide coatings. Small objects can be coated with larvicide or larvicide and adulticide combination, which can be dropped in water-holding containers which can leach out pesticide over time which prevents mosquitoes from breeding in the water-holding containers.

主权项

1. A method of depositing mosquito pesticide coated objects into water holding areas, consisting of the steps of:
providing a single polymer coating with an imbedded pesticide for killing mosquitoes; coating exterior surfaces only of small objects with the polymer coating having the imbedded pesticide, the small objects selected from at least one of chips, tokens, pebbles, stones and marbles dropping the coated objects into a water-holding area to land on a surface portion of a water holding area so that the coated objects are configured to rest on a bottom surface; and leaching out the mosquito killing coating into the water-holding area to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in the water-holding area.
