Mosquito control device 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 dual action container for killing insects and their larvae, comprising:
a generally pyramid shaped housing having a closed bottom and closed sidewalls with and a narrow upper end with an inclined substantially narrower open top with a grate thereon; a single side extended opening in the housing substantially at least midway between the closed bottom and the open top; and an adulticidal coating layer on an inner surface of the housing; a larvicidal coating layer on an inner surface of the housing, wherein the adulticidal coating layer and the larvicidal coating layer kills both adult insects and their larvae over time.
