Spinosyn fumigants
View Patent ↗Methods of controlling arthropod pests by dispersing spinosyn compositions in the form of aerosols, fogs, smokes, or vapors are disclosed.
1. An arthropod pest control method which comprises dispersing in a space where arthropod pest control is desired a composition comprising spinetoram and a liquid carrier, wherein said composition is dispersed in the form of droplets or particles having a diameter of 0.001 microns or less to produce a vapor.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said composition is dispersed in an enclosed space.
3. A method for disinfesting a space which comprises dispersing in said space a composition comprising spinetoram and a non-aqueous organic solvent in the form of droplets or particles having a diameter of 0.001 microns or less to produce a vapor.
4. The method of claim 1 used to control beetles, cockroaches, or ants.
5. The method of claim 1 used to control flies or moths.
6. The method of claim 2 wherein said space is in a greenhouse.
7. An arthropod pest control method which comprises dispersing in a space where arthropod pest control is desired a composition comprising a spinosyn and a liquid carrier, wherein said composition is dispersed in the form of droplets or particles having a diameter of 0.001 microns or less to produce a vapor.
8. The method of claim 7 wherein said composition is dispersed in an enclosed space.
9. A method for disinfesting a space which comprises dispersing in said space a composition comprising a spinosyn and a non-aqueous organic solvent in the form of droplets or particles having a diameter of 0.001 microns or less to produce a vapor.
10. The method of claim 7 used to control beetles, cockroaches, or ants.
11. The method of claim 7 used to control flies or moths.
12. The method of claim 8 wherein said space is in a greenhouse.
13. An arthropod pest control method which comprises dispersing in a space where arthropod pest control is desired a composition comprising spinosad and a liquid carrier, wherein said composition is dispersed in the form of droplets or particles having a diameter of 0.001 microns or less to produce a vapor.
14. The method of claim 13 wherein said composition is dispersed in an enclosed space.
15. A method for disinfesting a space which comprises dispersing in said space a composition comprising spinosad and a non-aqueous organic solvent in the form of droplets or particles having a diameter of 0.001 microns or less to produce a vapor.
16. The method of claim 13 used to control beetles, cockroaches, or ants.
17. The method of claim 13 used to control flies or moths.
18. The method of claim 14 wherein said space is in a greenhouse.
