PCT No. PCT/GB93/01442 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 9, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 9, 1995 PCT Filed Jul. 9, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/00980 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 20, 1995Pest control wherein at least part of a pest is exposed to particles which carry an electrostatic charge, preferably of opposite polarity to that of the surface of the pest, and which may be sticky or tacky and comprise a wax, for example, a plant wax, such as, Carnauba wax, or an inorganic material, such as, talc. A pesticide, such as, a chemical or microbial insecticide, or a behavior modifying chemical may be associated with the particles which may also be dispensed in and/or dispersed via a liquid or gaseous carrier, possibly from a pressurized gas or aerosol dispenser at whose nozzle the particles are charged electrostatically by friction. In a preferred embodiment, a trap with a lure (45, 53) has a surface (34), preferably sloping, coated with the particles for destabilizing pests and a trapping zone (41, 43) into which destabilized pests fall from the particle-coated surface (34) and are retained for subsequent disposal.
