Finally, a subject is a use of the ant bait according to the invention for controlling ants.
Abstract:
Microcapsule having a shell and a core, wherein said core contains a non-aqueous liquid, said non-aqueous liquid being one or more liquid (at 21 °C) active substances or one or more active substances dissolved in a solvent S, solvent S being immiscible with water, and wherein said shell contains i) at least one protein PR that is overall negatively charged, ii) at least one polysaccharide PS that is overall positively charged, and iii) optionally an inorganic salt IS capable of crosslinking components protein PR and polysaccharide PS via formation of non-covalent bonds.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel pesticide compositions in the form of a gel material or a solid material which are suitable for combating arthropod pests, in particular insects. The pesticide composition in the form of a gel or solid contains i) 0.001 to 50% by weight of at least one pesticide compound which is effective against arthropod pest, ii) 0.5 to 20% by weight of at least one superabsorbent polymer P having an absorption capacity for deionised water of at least 100 g per 1 g of polymer P, and iii) 5 to 94.5% by weight of at least one filler material different from water, and iv) 5 to 94.5% by weight of water, wherein the % by weight are based on the total weight of the composition. The present invention also relates to the use of the pesticide compositions as described herein for combating arthropod pests and to a method for combating arthropod pests, which comprises applying a gel composition as defined herein either directly or as an aqueous dilution to a location where the arthropod pest gets into contact with said composition.
