A method of killing a pest such as an arthropod or invertebrate pest comprises contacting an active agent such as 2-undecanone to said pest in an amount effective to kill said pest. In some embodiments, the contacting step is carried out by applying the active agent such as 2-undecanone or composition containing the same to a plant or animal (e.g., a human, or other mammalian species such as dog, cat, horse, pig, cow sheep, goat, etc.) in an amount substantially non-toxic to said plant or animal. In some embodiments, the contacting step is carried out by applying said active agent such as 2-undecanone as a composition (e.g., an aqueous composition) comprising said 2-undecanone in combination with a soy methyl ester. The composition may be in the form of an emulsion (including microemulsions). |
