Method of pest control using pesticide being a neurotransmitter affector utilizing octopamine receptor sites

摘要

The application is for a pesticide and a method of using the pesticide to kill invertebrates, especially insects, arachnids and larvae. The method is to prepare a mixture of a carrier with the pesticide and apply the mixture to the insects, arachnids and larvae and their habitat. The pesticide is a neurotransmitter affector utilizing octopamine receptor sites in the insects, arachnids and larvae. The affector agent is a chemical having a six-membered carbon ring having substituted thereon at least one oxygenated functional group. The affector agent is a chemical component of a plant essential oil and is naturally occurring. Deposition of the above pesticide on a surface provides residual toxicity for up to 30 days. Various carriers for the affector agent are disclosed.
