Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of pest control, and more particularly to insect attractants in dry powdery formulations that when mixed with, or used in cooperation with pre- registered, commercially-available, active ingredients and solvents, form low-toxicity, environment-friendly, baiting systems for utilization of weather- sheltered, liquid bait station dispensers to attract and kill or otherwise neutralize a broad range of crop-damaging, crawling, walking and flying insects.
  • the LGFAES dispenser permits the use of slow-acting, low-toxicity liquid baits whereby the foraging insects after consuming, or otherwise being contaminated with the bait, leave the dispenser to die and, in many instances, share this bait or its effect with other like insects thus contributing to the destruction of the total problem infestation.
  • the liquid attractant and bait is stored and provided to the targeted feeding insects entirely within the dispenser, this total insect infestation elimination is accomplished in a bio-rational manner.

  • the foraging insects after consuming, or otherwise being contaminated with the bait, leave to die or become neutralized and, in many instances, share this bait or its effect with other targeted insects thus contributing to the destruction of the total problem infestation
  • the liquid bait stored and provided to the foraging ants is entirely within the Dispenser, the elimination of the infestation is accomplished in a most bio-rational manner.
  • Another embodiment of the insect attractant compound being discovered, after mixing with a solvent, is its use within the LGFAES gravity-feed dispensing system in cooperation with the insect contamination band-type device located outwardly adjacent to the middle ring feeding pool of the LGFAES.
  • active ingredients including fungus or similar pathogen-like material impregnated into the contamination band, operating with the species specific insect attractants in the feeding pool, contaminate foraging insects with these active ingredients and provide the insects as a means to transfer these materials to infect or otherwise affect other insects, when the foragers leave to mate with, feed or to otherwise be in contact with other insects of the same species; or be in contact with other insects of a different species as in the case of the Argentine or similar ants, when they are protecting or harvesting the honeydew of the mealy bugs, aphids and other such homoptera.
  • It is another objective of the present invention is to produce attractant formulations that are compatible with the effective utilization of commercially available and pre-registered, pyrthroid, which is used for the control of a broad range of problem insects, including ticks, fleas, bed bugs, mealy bugs, aphids and whiteflies.
  • It is another objective of the present invention is to produce attractant formulations that are compatible with the effective utilization of commercially available and pre-registered, imidacloprid that is used for the control of a broad range of problem insects, including tobacco flea beetle, Colorado potato beetle, glassy-winged sharpshooter, citrus leaf miner, mealy bugs, aphids and whiteflies.

  • the present invention provides a method of producing a attractant formulation that can be premixed with a commercially available active ingredient in the manufacturing process or that can be combined with said active ingredient by the end user, prior to mixing with a solvent to produce a low-toxicity, bio-rational, insect bait, without precipitate, that can be used in the LGFAES liquid bait station dispenser, or equivalent.
  • Most liquid insect baits now sold are highly toxic mixtures, primarily colloidal suspensions that are designed for the quick kill of the foraging insects, prior to dissipation of the bait by the sun, rain and other elements, and not to cause exponential damage to the entire targeted insect infestation.
  • the attractant composition as presently disclosed, when combined with a commercially available active ingredient and a solvent is without precipitate so as not to interrupt the LGFARES dispensing action. And it also includes a preservative that inhibits bait degradation and bacteria growth. [0037] Also, it should be apparent that the present invention provides a method of producing an attractant formulation that can be used in cooperation with an insect contamination band-type device impregnated with a commercially available active ingredients to contaminate foraging insects with these active ingredients and provide the foragers as a means to transfer these materials to infect or otherwise affect other insects.
