Abstract

A method of controlling pests includes exposing the pests to a pest controlling amount of a triketone compound in combination with at least one second pesticide. Formulations and kits can include the combination.

Claims (21)

1 . A method of causing mortality of insecticide-susceptible insect pests of the order Diptera, comprising exposing the pests to a synergistic combination of flavesone and at least one second pesticide,

wherein the at least one second pesticide is at least one insecticide selected from the group consisting of permethrin and pyrethrin,

wherein the amount of the compound used is between an LC 10 and an LC 30 amount and the amount of the second pesticide used is up to an LC 50 amount, and

wherein the synergistic combination leads to a synergistic increase in mortality of the insecticide-susceptible insect pests of the order Diptera.

2 . The method according to claim 1 wherein the insect is a Musca species, an Aedes species or a Culex species.

3 . The method according to claim 2 where in the insect is selected from the group consisting of Musca domestica, Aedes aegypti, Aedes vexans, Culex pipiens and Culex qunque fasciatus.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the compound is between an LC 10 and an LC 20 amount.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the amount of the second pesticide is an LC 50 amount.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the amount of the compound is about an LC 10 amount.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the combination is formulated as a spray and deployed into air of an environment.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the combination is formulated as a spray and deployed on a surface in an environment.

9 . A method of causing mortality of insecticide-susceptible insect pests of the order Diptera, comprising exposing the pests to a combination of: flavesone and at least one second pesticide,

wherein the at least one second pesticide is at least one insecticide selected from the group consisting of permethrin and pyrethrin,

wherein the amount of the compound used is between an LC 10 and an LC 30 amount and the amount of the second pesticide used is up to an LC 50 amount,

wherein the synergistic combination leads to a synergistic increase in mortality of the insecticide-susceptible insect pests of the order Diptera, and

wherein the combination is formulated as a spray and deployed into air of an environment.

10 . The method according to claim 9 wherein the insect is a Musca species, an Aedes species or a Culex species.

11 . The method according to claim 10 where in the insect is selected from the group consisting of Musca domestica, Aedes aegypti, Aedes vexans, Culex pipiens and Culex qunque fasciatus.

12 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the amount of the compound is between about an LC 10 amount and about an LC 20 amount.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of the second pesticide is about an LC 50 amount.

14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the amount of the compound is about an LC 10 amount.
