AEROSOL INSECTICIDE COMPOSITION

摘要

An aerosol insecticidal composition suitable for use on an aircraft, which comprises a dispensing container having aerosol dispensing means, and containing an insecticidal active ingredient, and optionally a solvent for the active ingredient, and a propellant gas at sufficient pressure to dispense the active ingredient from the dispensing means as an aerosol, characterised in that the propellant is chosen from any one or more of CF3CH2F, DME, CO2, or NO2 and the solvent (if present) is chosen from any one or more of hydrocarbon, alcohol or water. Preferably the aerosol insecticidal composition is one wherein the propellant is CF3CH2F and the solvent is a hydrocarbon, and most preferably the aerosol insecticidal composition has the following composition: phenothrin 20:80 2 % by weight; permethrin 25:75 2 % by weight; petroleum solvent 8 % by weight; propellant - HFC 134a 88 % by weight or alternatively: phenothrin or permethrin 2 % by weight; petroleum solvent 10 % by weight; propellant - HFC 134a 88 % by weight. A method of disinsecting aircraft is also described.
