Description

The present invention relates to paper impregnated with insecticidal active substances, a method for its production and its use for controlling insects.

It is known that for the extermination or repelling of insects, such as mosquitoes, using electric heaters, for example, the so-called evaporator plates. In this method, appropriate substances, such as cellulose and cotton board, asbestos, ceramic materials and / or artificial resins, are impregnated with solutions of insecticidal active ingredients, thereby obtaining insecticidal plates. Insecticides evaporate under the influence of a heating device, which creates a temperature from 120 to 190 ° C.

A significant drawback of these evaporator plates is that these evaporators unevenly release active substances over the intended period of validity. At the beginning of the work, the release of the active substance is for the most part excessive, and then it is constantly and greatly reduced. The effectiveness of such evaporator plates decreases over a given period of use.

Evaporation devices for home use have long been known, which are described, for example, in British application GB-B-2153227; they evaporate the solution using a wick heated by electricity, the active substance being dissolved in a mixture of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons.

The amounts of organic solvents required in these so-called liquid evaporators are very large compared to the amount of active substance, which, when using the product, leads to an undesirable increase in the concentration of solvent in the room, which, among other things, causes pollution of walls and objects close to these devices, what consumers often complain about.

Battery-operated insecticide vaporizers are used for controlling annoying insect pests, the radiation plate of which is heated to a temperature between 90 and 130 ° C to vaporize the insecticide (German application DE 19525782 A1).

In addition, dry fuel briquettes for controlling insects are known from German application DE 20 2004008226 U1, in particular when using the grill in the open air, which briquettes consist of a carrier of a porous and / or cavity structure and fuel of wax and / or paraffin, and / or stearin, and the composition of the fuel contains citronella oil.

In addition, the evaporation of insecticides by electric fans is known, directing the air flow along the carrier impregnated with a solution of the active substance. Such fan systems are described, for example, in WO-A-96/32843.

Natural and synthetic materials impregnated with transflutrin are known from European application EP-B-0279325, for example moth control paper.

From German application DE 19947146 A1, carrier materials are known to be impregnated with active substances belonging to the group consisting of transfluthrin, pyramine forte, vaportrin, pralletrin. Carrier materials are used at room temperature to control indoor insects. Due to their volatility, insecticidal active substances evaporate from the carrier material and thus provide a certain concentration in the air. The systems described in German application DE 19947146 A1 are unsuccessful, however, in the sense that, on the one hand, they release insecticidal active substances already during long-term storage, and it is not obvious to the consumer what the actual activity of the system already stored in the later use will be . On the other hand, the isolation of insecticidal active substances from the system is not effective enough.

Smoking coils are also known, for example Baygon® coils, which protect against mosquitoes for 6-12 hours, for example, on a veranda, on a balcony, in a campground or in a room. For use, they set fire to the ring, and the ring decays, so that the active substance contained therein is slowly and constantly released - in the open air or indoors. To put the size of about 20 m ² must be a ring, commercially available. The disadvantage of these rings, however, is that when used, they tend to break easily, so that they are only partially used.

In addition, to control insects, to quickly remove insects from enclosed spaces, aerosols and oil spraying agents are used. If insect re-entry is prevented, the rooms treated in this way can then be aired again. The corresponding systems, however, have the disadvantage that aerosol mist or mist from sprayed oil is not sufficiently finely distributed in the room due to its mass.

Common to all these products is that their production requires high technical and transport costs, is slow and therefore expensive. In addition, the use of the world's most widespread products - aerosols, sprayed oil products and spirals requires the use of huge amounts of natural resources, such as kerosene, propane / butane, sawdust, glue, starch, as well as auxiliary prescription drugs. In addition, their use usually necessitates the subsequent disposal of appropriate packaging, such as cans, valves, plastic bottles, overpacks, etc.

Thus, taking into account the above-described current technical level, the specialist is faced with the task of proposing a device for controlling insects that does not have the disadvantages presented above.

In a first embodiment, the solution to this problem is based on a device for controlling insects, including a smoldering carrier.

The carrier is characterized in that it contains at least one insecticidal active substance.

Thus, in the first embodiment according to the invention, it is provided to provide an insect control device that includes a smoldering carrier, which, for example, due to impregnation, contains at least one insecticidal active substance. According to the invention, the carrier is made so that it - once set on fire - after extinguishing, for example, from blowing or a gust of wind, continues to smolder and does not go out completely. Due to smoldering, the carrier releases at least one insecticidal active substance, which provides insect control.

Carrier

In the framework of the present invention, no special restrictions are imposed on the carrier, as long as it is able, by smoldering, to release at least one insecticidal active substance.

As the carrier, for example, cellulose-based material can be used. In this regard, as an example, mention should be made of paper medium, which is described in more detail in the framework of the preferred form of execution. Other cellulose-based materials are, for example, wood chips, wood chips or sawdust, rice husks, corn cobs (preferably without grains), pecans and peanuts. Particularly, particle boards, especially thin ones, can be used as a carrier material. A suitable cellulose-based carrier is described, for example, in German patent application DE 4322376 A1, the disclosure of which is included in this application with respect to this issue.

Another possible carrier option is a carrier based on textile materials. Such a carrier can completely or partially include synthetic fibers, such as polyester or nylon, or natural fibers, such as cotton, viscose, a mixture of viscose and linen, or a mixture of synthetic and natural fibers, such as cellulose / polyester ("synthetic paper") or cotton / polyester. Other examples are wool / felting and trevira (polyester fiber) / satin.

Another possible carrier option is based on abrasive materials such as polycarbonates, polyesters, polyamides and polyterephthalates. Thus, in the framework of the present invention, it turned out that the carrier for the insecticidal active substance can be made from a synthetic material, the active substance into which is introduced before the final manufacturing or molding of the carrier. In the framework of the present invention, this active substance is characterized in that in the process of forming the carrier element, the effectiveness of the active substance does not decrease or decreases only slightly, and at the same time, when the plastic carrier smolders, it can be released from the latter mainly with a constant evaporation rate. For the manufacture of the carrier, an injection molding method can be applied in which an insecticidal active substance, for example a pyrethroid, is added to the starting plastic material, for example, pyrethroid, and then the final shape is given to this mixture by processing in an injection mold. Alternative manufacturing techniques can also be extrusion or deep drawing.

In the framework of the present invention, the use of a cellulose-based carrier is particularly preferred.

Moreover, in the framework of the present invention, the use of paper media is highly preferred.

The solution to the problem underlying the present invention, in a highly preferred embodiment, is based on an insect control device including a smoldering paper carrier.

Paper carrier is characterized in that it contains at least one insecticidal active ingredient.

Thus, in this highly preferred embodiment according to the invention, it is contemplated to provide an insect control device that includes a smoldering paper carrier, which, for example, due to soaking, contains at least one insecticidal active substance. According to the invention, the paper carrier is made so that it - once set on fire - after extinguishing, for example, by blowing or a gust of wind, continues to smolder and does not go out completely. Due to smoldering, the paper carrier releases at least one insecticidal active ingredient, which provides insect control.

In a particular form of this highly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device according to the invention consists of a carrier, in particular a paper carrier, at least one insecticidal active substance and, if necessary, other additional substances, such as potassium nitrate. Other additional substances are described below.

Cellulose-based media - paper media

According to a first embodiment of the invention, a paper carrier is included in the composition of the device according to the invention. In this paper carrier contains fiber. By “fiber” in the framework of the present invention is meant a mass obtained by chemical treatment of plant (mostly wood) fibers, which mainly consists of cellulose.

Paper carriers of the type similar to that according to the invention have been known for many years, however, not in the field of insect control. So, for about 150 years, the paper carrier has been impregnated with Asian wood (styrax family) resin “Styrax”, and the resulting product is called “Armenian paper”. Apply "Armenian paper" to neutralize the smells of food and tobacco or other unpleasant odors. The Frenchman Auguste Poncet brought the resin, which is also used for the production of incense, and which therefore smells like it, from a trip to Armenia. Paper is used in the form of books with a different number of pages. When using this paper, one page (one sheet) is separated from the book, lit in the ashtray and extinguished again, allowing it to slowly smolder. During smoldering, the paper releases the desired perfumes and provides a pleasant smell around itself. The paper substrate according to the invention is also used in a similar manner.

In principle, there is no particular restriction on the paper carrier used, since it is generally suitable to contain the corresponding insecticidal active substance, and after igniting and extinguishing the paper carrier, at least one insecticidal active substance, mainly without destroying it.

It turned out, however, that for the purposes according to the invention it is advisable to use paper media with a paper weight of from 25 to 300 g / m ² , in particular from 25 to 270 g / m ² , particularly preferably from 25 to 250 g / m ² , extremely preferably from 25 to 230 g / m ² , even more preferably from 25 to 215 g / m ² , in particular from 25 to 200 g / m ² .

In addition, it is preferable that the thickness of the paper carrier be in the range from 0.1 to 0.5 mm, particularly preferably from 0.15 to 0.45 mm, very preferably from 0.15 to 0.40, even more preferably - in the range from 0.15 to 0.34 mm, and in particular from 0.15 to 0.32 mm.

Regarding the size of individual paper media, there are no limitations of the present invention. Nevertheless, the paper carrier according to the invention must have a size and shape suitable for use by the end user, i.e., the size must allow the paper carrier to smolder in a vessel, for example in an ashtray.

As an example of a paper carrier to be used according to the invention, mention may be made of a cardboard carrier, for example, absorbent or corrugated cardboard.

Insecticidal active ingredient

In the device according to the invention, a carrier, in particular a paper carrier, containing only one insecticidal active substance can be used. Alternatively, it is possible to provide in the carrier, in particular in paper, two or more insecticidal active substances, such as, for example, 2, 3 or 4 insecticidal active substances.

The selection of an appropriate insecticidal active ingredient is, in principle, limited only to the fact that the insecticidal active substance at the smoldering temperature of the carrier, in particular the paper carrier, comprising approximately 350 to 600 ° C, is released into the surrounding atmosphere mainly without decomposition, mainly without losing its insecticidal qualities. By the term “substantially non-degradable” in the context of the present invention is meant that at most 80%, preferably at most 70%, particularly preferably at most 60%, in particular at most 50%, and very preferably 40 % In a first embodiment of the present invention, the paper substrate is impregnated with at least one insecticidal active substance selected from the group consisting of pyrethroids, in particular selected from the group consisting of acrinatrin, allethrin, d-cis-allethrin, d-cis- trans-allethrin, d-trans-allethrin, alfamethrin, batrin, bifentrin, bioallethrin, S-bioallethrin, bioallethrin-S-cyclopentyl isomer, bioethanometrin, biopermetrin, bioresmetrin, chloaprotrin, clocitrin, cycloprotrin, cyfluthrin, cyfluthrin, cyfluthrin gamma a-cichalotrin, lambda-cichalotrin, cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, beta-cypermethrin, theta-cypermethrin, zeta-cypermethrin, cifenotrin, deltamethrin, depalletrin, empentrine, empentrine, efferrinfin, efferrinfrinfens, etfibernperfent, efferrinfrinfs , fenpyritrin, fenvalerate, flucrocytinate, flucitrinate, flufenprox, flumetrin, imiprotrin, cadetrin, metoflutrin, neopenamine, permethrin, cis-permethrin, trans-permethrin, phenotrin, phenotrin (1R-trans-isomer), p-phenlthrin, d-fenthrin, f protrifenbut, pinamine forte, pyresmetrin, pyrethrin, resmetrin, cis-resmethrin RU 15525, silafluofen, tau-fluvalinate, tefluthrin, tetramethrin (phthaltrin), tetramethrin (1R-isomer), teralocrin, tralamometrin, transfluthrin, ZXI 8901, pyrethrins (pyrethrum) and any of the above.

In addition, individually or in combination with the aforementioned insecticidal active ingredients, in carriers, in particular in paper carriers, synergists, such as, for example, octachlorodipropyl ether and piperonyl butoxide, may be contained according to the invention.

Matrix

Moreover, the insecticidal active substance can be in the matrix on the carrier, in particular on paper. Due to the use of the matrix material in which the insecticidal active substance is located, it is possible to achieve that, after the manufacture of the product according to the invention and before its use, the insecticidal active substance generally does not evaporate and does not change the quality of the product according to the invention.

As matrix materials, all systems that prevent at least one insecticidal active substance used according to the invention from vaporizing from a carrier material, for example from a paper carrier under normal environmental conditions (23 ° C, 1013 mbar), can be used.

Organic substances that can be used as matrix materials include polyvinyl alcohol, wheat protein and its derivatives, carbohydrates, starch (from various plant sources), amylose and its derivatives, amylopectin and its derivatives, cellulose and its derivatives, hydrolyzed starch, modified starch, modified starch derivatives, maltodextrins, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, chitin, chitosan, polysaccharide gums and their derivatives, polyethylene glycol, polyester, guide hydroxyalkyl-starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone and cellulose derivatives, casein, gelatin, solubilized proteins, polyacrylamide, polyamines, resins based on styrene and maleic anhydride, polyethylene amine, xanthan gum.

Other examples include polyacrylates, such as maleized or epoxidized polymers, optionally with crosslinking, and (meth) acrylate polymers with crosslinking. Condensation products of the maleized or epoxidized polymer and a crosslinking agent, preferably polyamine, are preferred. Suitable polymers are, for example, reaction products of polydienes such as polybutadiene, polydecadiene and soybean oil with a molecular weight of more than 400 g / mol with maleic anhydride, in addition, copolymers of olefins like ethylene with maleic anhydride, as well as epoxidized polybutadiene . Preferred crosslinking agents are polyamines, in particular polyoxypropylene diamine and polyoxypropylene triamine. In addition, triethylene glycol, polyethyleneimine and urea can also be used as crosslinking agents. It is advisable that the crosslinking reaction takes place in an alcohol solution, for example in dipropylene glycol, at an elevated temperature. Maleic acid anhydride groups or epoxy groups, or —NR — CO — crosslinked polymer groups and —CRH-O— groups of polyoxyalkylene polyamine have a hydrophilic effect.

Another class of polymers is the copolymerizates of monofunctional (meth) acrylate monomers, for example hydroxyethyl acrylate or poly (propylene oxide) (ethylene oxide) monomethacrylate, with one polyfunctional (meth) acrylate monomer, for example ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or polyethylene glycol-400-d. The synthesis of (meth) acrylate polymers with crosslinking is carried out by radical copolymerization of monomers. In both cases, crosslinked polymers are capable of absorbing liquids and gases, for example, finely dispersed insecticidal active substances in liquid, dissolved or dispersed form.

It is also possible to use solid alkane carboxylic acids and gel-like metal salts with alkane carboxylic acids as matrix materials. It is advisable to mention stearic acid and alkali metal salts of stearic acid as sodium stearate, and in addition a mixture of stearic acid and palminic acid or their alkali metal salts, for example a mixture of sodium stearate and sodium palmitate. The corresponding matrix forming substances are described in German application DE 19624819 A1, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this invention.

Inorganic substances, for example silicic acid, polysilicates, polyphosphoric acid and its derivatives, polyboric acids, clay, etc., can be mentioned as other examples.

In addition, it is also possible to use microencapsulated insecticidal active ingredients. Thanks to microencapsulation of individual insecticidal active substances, their unwanted release under normal conditions can be avoided. Corresponding systems are described in German application DE 10022989 A1, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this invention.

Manufacture

The impregnated carrier materials to be used according to the invention, in particular paper carrier materials, can be produced by all conventional methods of impregnation, if during impregnation the carrier, in particular paper carrier, is not damaged, for example, by spraying the carrier with an insecticide solution and subsequent drying, for example, in air or by immersion of the carrier in an insecticide solution, followed by drying, for example, in air. Other appropriate methods of impregnation are impregnation with a pipette, ink spraying method, and screen printing method.

Thus, carriers, in particular paper carriers of the insect control agents according to the invention in one embodiment, can, for example, be made by impregnating an appropriate carrier material, in particular paper, with an appropriate solution or emulsion. In this case, it is advisable to use carriers, especially paper media, described above, in which the proper amount of potassium nitrate has already been added, as a starting material. In yet another embodiment, the carrier, in particular paper, is equipped with a glowing synergist. This can be, for example, potassium nitrate or potassium permanganate.

Appropriate solutions or emulsions containing at least one insecticidal active ingredient may be water or oil based. They - in addition to at least one insecticidal active ingredient - if necessary, contain other components, such as potassium nitrate, antioxidants, for example phenol derivatives, in particular butyl hydroxytoluene (BHT), butyl hydroxyanisole (BHA), bisphenol derivatives, arylamines, such as phenyl-α-naphthylamine, a condensate of phenetidine and acetone or similar products, or benzophenones, and emulsifying agents, for example Span 80 or fatty acid esters.

The following can be used as organic and inorganic auxiliary substances: ammonium salts and natural stone flour, such as kaolin, alumina, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth and synthetic stone flour, for example, highly dispersed silicic acid, alumina and silicates : as solid carriers for granules can be used: for example, crushed and fractionated minerals, for example calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite, dolomite, as well as synthetic granules from n inorganic and organic powders and granules from organic materials, such as nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol esters, for example alkylaryl-polyglycol ether, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, arylsulfonates, as well as hydrolysates proteins; as dispersants used: for example, products of the processing of lignin with sulfurous acid and methyl cellulose.

Adhesive additives, for example carboxymethyl cellulose, natural or synthetic polymers in powder, granular or latex-like state, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, can be used in the insecticide-containing gel formulations according to the invention. Mineral or vegetable oils can also be used as additives.

It is possible to use dyes such as: inorganic pigments, for example, iron oxide, titanium, sincali, and organic dyes, for example, alizarin, azophthalocyanine and metallophthalocyanine dyes, as well as trace elements, for example iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

In a first embodiment, for applying an insecticidal active substance to a carrier, in particular to a paper carrier, a water-based solution or emulsion is preferably used.

In a second embodiment, an oil-based solution or emulsion is preferably used for applying an insecticidal active substance to a carrier, in particular a paper carrier, the main solvents containing kerosene, such as Isopar, and paraffin, such as Isopar® (Exxon )

The insect control agents according to the invention are particularly suitable for controlling flying insects, for example mosquitoes, midges and flies, for example from the genus Musca domestica, for controlling moths, ants, ticks, cockroaches and silverfish. For these purposes, the carrier, in particular the paper carrier, is set on fire and extinguished immediately so that it then smolders, for example, in a suitable vessel. The duration of smoldering depends on the size of the carrier, in particular the paper carrier, and on the amount of potassium nitrate present in the carrier, in particular in the paper carrier. Typically, the smoldering period is from 1 minute to several hours, depending on the material of the carrier, in particular on the quality of the paper, its type and method of impregnation of paper.

The insect control agents according to the invention are particularly suitable for use in enclosed spaces, for example in rooms, cellars, pantries, warehouses, stalls and silos. In the framework of the present invention, however, it is possible to use in the open air, for example on the veranda or in the campground.

Based on the following examples, a detailed explanation of the present invention is given, which, however, is in no way limited to the forms of execution described in the examples.

3.6 Results

3.7 Evaluation

The above experiments demonstrate that the use of at least 0.6 mg of transflutrin is particularly convenient in rooms with a volume of 20 m ³ .

4. Determination of the combustion mode (smoldering process) of paper-based evaporators

4.1 Equipment

- Standard laboratory equipment

- Stopwatch

- Cameras with a volume of 1 m ³ or 20 m ³

- Fan (only when tested in a chamber of 20 m ³ )

- Clamping device for fixing samples

- Lighter

- Reception cups

4.2 Execution

Before the start of the study, samples are marked with the exception of confusion.

Samples to be tested are inserted into the clamping device designed for them. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the samples are arranged so that there is no contact with other surfaces, such as the floor or prefabricated cups, which can adversely affect the passage of the test (smoldering of the sample).

The sample is placed in a test chamber (1 m ³ or 20 m ³ ) and positioned so that it can be observed throughout the study. When conducting tests in a 20 m ³ chamber, to improve air circulation, a fan can be used as an option (for placement, see sketch below). The sample is set on fire with a lighter, achieving a visible flame. The flame is immediately blown out so that the sample continues to smolder on its own. At the same time, a stopwatch is switched on, by which the smoldering time of the sample is determined. Throughout the test (smoldering duration), the sample is monitored, and the following should be noted:

- sample smoldering continuity

- does the sample smolder evenly or only in some areas

- do parts of the sample disappear during the test

The test is repeated at least three times.

4.3 Evaluation

The test results are tabulated and evaluated. At a minimum, the following important parameters must be evaluated and presented in tabular form:

- Duration of the smoldering phase (average value over three measurements)

- Appearance during smoldering

4.4 Appearance factors

a = burns out optimally

b = parts decay during smoldering

c = goes out (decay stops)

sF = emits sparks

4.5 Test chambers

a) Test in a chamber with a volume of 1 m ³ (Figure 2)

b) Test in a chamber with a volume of 20 m ³ (Figure 3)

5. Production of samples - smoldering evaporators on a paper basis

5.1 Equipment

- Standard laboratory equipment

- Stopwatch

- Ditches from steel V4A (35 × 22 cm)

- Oven (up to a temperature of 50 ° C)

- Photographic roller mill (gloss)

- Eppendorf pipettes with a capacity of 20-500 μl (including tips)

- Reception ditches for a glossy

5.2 Paper pretreatment

Paper intended for pretreatment is cut into sheets of size A 4 and indicated by the corresponding development number. A4 paper sheets are accurately weighed (net weight is determined).

Then make 500 g of a 6% aqueous solution of KNO ₃ . In this case, it is necessary to ensure that deionized water is used to prepare the solution. The finished solution is indicated by the corresponding development number and transferred to a cuvette made of V4A steel with a total capacity of 1 liter. The paper is immersed in a 6% KNO ₃ solution. It is important that the entire sheet of paper of size A 4 be immersed in the solution. After 20 minutes, the sheet of paper is removed from the solution and immediately squeezed on a roller mill to squeeze out excess liquid from the paper.

After pressing, a sheet of paper is dried in an oven (at about 50 ° C) until a constant weight is reached and again accurately weighed (gross weight).

A finished sheet of paper that has undergone preliminary processing is cut into 12 × 2 cm sample strips and marked accordingly.

5.3 Impregnation of sample strips

Using a pipette-dispenser, a predetermined volume of the active substance solution is applied to the sample strip. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the entire solution is evenly distributed over the surface. Impregnated sample strips are marked with the corresponding development numbers and hermetically wrapped in aluminum foil. Strips of specimen strips made of aluminum foil for appropriate tests can be taken no earlier than after 24 hours of exposure. It is important to produce a sufficient amount of [solution] per sample strip so that it is possible to carry out the intended tests, such as: evidence of biological effectiveness and parallel analytical studies. Samples that are used later are stored in the refrigerator.

5.4 Estimation of the amount of KNO ₃

The estimation of the amount of KNO _{3 is} carried out as follows:

- Number of KNO ₃ / A4 sheet

gross weight of the paper sheet; net weight of the paper sheet = amount of KNO ₃

- KNO mass distribution ₃  on the surface

The number of KNO ₃ per sheet × 1 m ² / sheet area of A4 format = KNO ₃ / m ²

The experiments are carried out in a room having a volume of 20 m ³ (length 2.84 m, width 2.33 m, height 3.03 m), the inner walls and the roof being made of steel (DIN 4571). There are five windows in the room. The floor is covered with unglazed tiles. Three wire baskets (length 8.4 cm, diameter 8.0 cm, mesh size 1.0 mm), each of which contained 20 experimental insects (age 3-4 days), are distributed over the room in which the experiment is carried out, at a height of 1.80 m at points A, B and C in each case at a distance of 0.45 m from the nearest wall (Figure 1).

The ring is placed in a glass cup, which is placed on a rack in the middle of the room at a height of 0.5 m. The ring is fixed with an ordinary holder and set on fire from one end. Under the cup is a fan (diameter 0.2 m), the blades of which are directed upwards, throughout the experiment it rotates with an intensity of 1 (see details above) (Figure 4).

The time during which 10%, 50% and 95% of insects die (CT 10, CT 50 and CT 95) is determined. The experimental insects remained indoors for 60 minutes. Then, the final number of insects killed was determined. All insects are removed from the baskets and transferred to a transparent plastic container that does not contain an insecticide.

6.7 Results

6.8 Results

When Aedes aegypti was exterminated, all samples of impregnated paper (0.6 mg transflutrin, 0.2 mg metoflutrin, 0.6 mg Etoc or 4.0 mg pinamine forte) showed a quick damaging effect in the following sequence:

Lesion Time 95% pinamin forte 5 minutes, 22 seconds transflutrin 5 minutes, 33 seconds metoflutrin 6 minutes, 02 seconds Etoc: 8 minutes, 34 seconds

All samples provided a high mortality rate (pinamin forte, transfluthrin and metoflutrin - 100% mortality, Etoc - 97% mortality).

When exterminating Culex quinquefasciatus, all samples of impregnated paper (0.6 mg transfluthrin, 0.2 mg metoflutrin, 0.6 mg Etoc, or 4.0 mg pinamine forte) showed a quick damaging effect in the following sequence:

Lesion Time 95% pinamin forte 09 minutes, 27 seconds transflutrin 11 minutes, 01 seconds metoflutrin 11 minutes, 24 seconds Etoc: 19 minutes, 09 seconds

Products show significant differences in mortality rates when fighting Culex mosquitoes. Mortality in 100% is ensured only by transfluthrin, followed by metoflutrin (84%), Etoc (35%) and pinamin forte (22%).

7. The cultivation conditions of the used insect species

7.1 Culex quinquefasciatus

Insects are kept in cells (48 × 48 × 39 cm) with gauze inserts on the sides and in the roof. Lighting (day / night rhythm) is regulated using a timer (12 hours of light, 12 hours of darkness), maintain a temperature of 26 ° C ± 1 ° C and a relative humidity of 60% ± 10%. To receive the liquid, a cotton ball soaked in a 10% glucose solution is placed in a box. Twice a week they give artificial blood nutrition. Cattle blood mixed with an anticoagulant is heated with a magnetic stirrer to 40 ° C. About 50 ml of this blood is injected into a piece of porcine intestine, and then placed in a cage. This allows mosquitoes to suck blood. For laying eggs, a cage (diameter 10 cm) is placed in the cage, filled with tap water up to a height of 2 cm. The laid eggs are transferred to a plastic cuvette (25 × 37 cm), which is filled with 5 liters of demineralized water and is placed on a heating mat for terrariums. Once a day, mosquito larvae are fed with ordinary dry food for ornamental fish,

commercially available (e.g. Vita®). After about 6 days, the stage of pupae sets in. To hatch mosquitoes, pupae with a small amount of water are transferred to a 10-liter plastic bucket. Hatching mosquitoes are caught for testing or for further breeding.

7.2 Aedes aeqypti

Insects are kept in cells (48 × 48 × 39 cm) with gauze inserts on the sides and in the roof. Lighting (day / night rhythm) is regulated using a timer (12 hours of light, 12 hours of darkness), maintain a temperature of 26 ° C ± 1 ° C and a relative humidity of 60% ± 10%. To receive the liquid, a cotton ball soaked in a 10% glucose solution is placed in a box. Once a week they give artificial blood nutrition. Cattle blood mixed with an anticoagulant is heated with a magnetic stirrer to 40 ° C. About 50 ml of this blood is injected into a piece of porcine intestine, and then placed in a cage. This allows mosquitoes to suck blood. For laying eggs in cups (250 ml), half filled with tap water, put rolls of filter paper 10 cm high. After laying, these rolls are stored in plastic buckets. To prevent cores from drying out, a wet 3 cm high layer of cellulose is pre-laid on the bottom. To hatch the larvae, approximately half of the filter paper, after storage for 2-4 weeks, is immersed in a plastic cuvette (25 × 37 cm) filled with 5 liters of demineralized water and standing on a heating mat for terrariums. Once a day, mosquito larvae are fed with the usual dry food for ornamental fish, which is commercially available (for example, Vita®). After about 4-5 days, the stage of pupae sets in. To hatch mosquitoes, pupae with a small amount of water are transferred to a 10-liter plastic bucket. Hatching mosquitoes are caught for testing or for further breeding.
