| 20120107428 | REPELLENTS FOR PESTIFEROUS SOCIAL WASPS - Provided herein are essential oils and synthetic compounds, and combinations thereof, as repellent compositions for repelling insects, such as vespid social wasps (Vespidae), including yellowjackets, paper wasps, and hornets. Controlled release devices comprising these repellent compositions are also provided. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120087871 | WASP, HORNET, AND YELLOWJACKET SPRAY REPELLANT AND NEST PESTICIDE - Methods for killing insects and a nest are disclosed. The methods may be used to disrupt a colony of nestdwelling insects. The insects may include wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20120060406 | BEDBUG TRAP - A bedbug trap having a base with an outer wall that may be formed as an angled ramp having a relatively shallow angle that leads to an entryway, and an inner wall extending from the outer wall that may be formed as an angled chute having a relatively steep angle. The ramp may be textured or otherwise skid-resistant, and the chute is smooth. A catch container attaches underneath the base and has a floor spaced away from the chute. A source of attractant, for example, an insulated container containing dry ice, rests on the base such that at least a portion of attractant from the container will flow toward the top of the ramp. A cover may attach to the base, enclosing the insulated container. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20110165115 | SYNERGISTIC ATTRACTANTS FOR PESTIFEROUS SOCIAL INSECTS - An insect attractant composition is disclosed. The composition includes a volatile insect attractant chemical blend comprising acetic acid and one or more compounds selected from the short chain alcohol group chosen from among methyl-1-butanol, isobutanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol; and one or more homo- or mono-terpene herbivore-induced plant volatiles chosen from among (E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene, (Z)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene, 4,8,12-trimethyl-1,3E,7E,11-tridecatetraene, trans-β-ocimene, cis-β-ocimene, trans-α-ocimene, cis-α-ocimene, and any combination thereof. The composition may be useful to attract one or more insect species, including, but not limited to, wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets, to a location or trap. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110067293 | MULTI-SPECIES INSECT TRAP WITH SEPARATED PLUMES - An insect trap for targeting multiple species with an entrapment chamber having an entry structure attached to one end of the entrapment chamber and a lower lid closing a second end. The entry structure is configured to generate a first attractant plume, and includes an annular lid, a tapered guide, a plurality of members slidably engaging the lid, and an attachment fixture. The entry structure also has means for retaining a first attractant. The lower lid includes means for retaining a second attractant and a plurality of apertures, such that a second attractant plume may be generated that is spaced apart from the first attractant plume. The lower lid may include entry apertures to provide insect ingress to the entrapment chamber, and may further include a second tapered guide. The lower lid may alternatively comprise micropores that permit egress of the second attractant. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20100166896 | METHODS FOR REPELLING INSECTS USING SESQUITERPENE HYDROCARBONS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES - Methods for repelling flying or biting insects from an area, a human, or an animal subject are provided. The methods include treating the area, or applying to a subject or to a device worn by the subject seychellene, α-guaiene, and α-bulnesene, or a mixture thereof. Additional compounds including β-caryophyllene, isocaryophyllene, β-caryophyllene oxide, β-caryophyllene ketone, α-humulene, β-patchoulene, α-patchoulene, β-elemene, (+)-longipinene, (−)-isolongifolene, (+)-longifolene, and linalool, clove oil, and/or patchouli oil may also be used. | 07-01-2010 |
