2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the development of vector-borne diseases are reduced.
3 . An integrated mosquito vector control solution comprising one or more methoxyacrylate compounds defined in claim 1 .
4 . The vector control solution according to claim 3 , wherein the solution is a net.
5 . The vector control solution according to claim 3 , wherein the solution is a composition for coating a net.
6 . The vector control solution according to claim 3 , wherein the solution is a composition for spraying surfaces of a dwelling.
7 . The vector control solution according to claim 3 , wherein a further insecticide and/or synergist is present.
8 . A polymeric material incorporated with one or more methoxyacrylate compounds defined in claim 1 .
9 . A kit for treating a fibre, yarn, net and weave by coating wash resistant insecticidal properties thereto comprising: a first sachet comprising a pre-measured amount of at least one compound defined in claim 1 , and a second sachet comprising a pre-measured amount of at least one polymeric binder.
10 . A method for treating a fibre, yarn, net and weave by coating wash resistant insecticidal properties thereto comprising (i) preparing a treatment composition, which comprises at least one compound defined in claim 1 , (ii) treating said fibre, yarn, net and weave and (iii) drying the resulting treated a fibre, yarn, net and weave.
11 . A method of preparing a polymeric material impregnated with a compound defined in claim 1 , which material is useful for making substrate or non-living material, such as threads, fibres, yarns, pellets, nets and weaves, which method comprises mixing a polymer with a compound defined in claim 1 at a temperature between 120 to 250° C.
12 . A method for mosquito vector-control, in particular controlling mosquito vectors carrying pathogenic disease, which method comprises (a) applying an effective amount of a liquid composition comprising a compound defined in claim 1 , and a polymeric binder, and optionally, one or more other insecticides, and/or synergists, to a surface of a dwelling; and/or (b) placing a substrate or non-living material incorporated with a compound defined in claim 1 , and optionally an additive, one or more other insecticides, and/or synergists, within a dwelling.
13 . A net incorporated with a compound defined in claim 1 having a biological activity in accordance with the WHOPES guidelines of a knockdown after 60 minutes of between 95 percent and 100 percent and/or a mortality after 24 hours of between 80 percent and 100 percent after 20 washes.
14 . A methoxyacrylate compound listed as compound 3, 5, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 23 in Table 1 as defined in claim 1 .
