An insert for an insect control product comprising a first side and an oppositely facing second side; a first portion; a middle portion; a third portion, the middle portion being connected to the first portion and the third portion along fold lines. A formula applied on a coated region of the second side of the insert and dried, and the formula applied to a coated region of the first side of the insert and dried. The insert is folded in upon itself to take on a Z-shaped configuration or cross section, and slid into a box or housing to complete the insect control product. The insert is made by the process of placing the stamped insert on an assembly line and first coating a coated region of the second side with formula and then flipping the insert over and drying same. Then, the coated region of the first side of the insert is coated with formula, flipped over and dried. The assembly line transports the insert to a folding machine that folds the insert along fold lines so that the insert takes on a Z-shaped configuration or cross section. Broken off particles of formula are suctioned off. The inserts are automatically inserted into the box thus forming the insect control product. The insect control products are placed into cartons and are in flattened form when in the cartons. The cartons are sealed with shrink wrap. |
