20120280055 | METHOD AND DISPENSER FOR CONTROLLED RELEASE OF SEMIOCHEMICALS - A method and packages for releasing volatiles of a semiochemical at a controlled or pre-selected rate are disclosed. The package containing the semiochemical includes at least one portion that is permeable to the volatiles. In some embodiments, the package is formed as a stick pack, and includes a plurality of micro-perforations having characteristics, such as size, density, and shape, that are selected to achieve a desired release rate. In an embodiment, the package is formed from a plurality of laminae, and at least one of the laminae is formed from a material that is selected for its permeability to the semiochemical volatiles. In an embodiment, the package includes a portion that is peeled away to expose a layer that is permeable to the semiochemical volatiles. | 11-08-2012 |
20120270944 | ANTIOXIDANTS AND VEGETABLE OILS AS STABILIZERS OF INSECT SEMIOCHEMICALS - Semiochemicals are combined with oils and/or antioxidants in order to control and maintain the necessary threshold release rates of the semiochemicals (such as attractants or repellents) from release devices for optimal activity/performance, for the reduction or elimination of semiochemical oxidation, isomerization, breakdown and polymerization, and also for stabilizing and/or protecting the active semiochemical ingredients. | 10-25-2012 |

20120186136 | METHOD FOR REDUCING THE ABILITY OF INSECTS TO ADHERE TO SURFACES - A method for rendering a surface nonadhesive to insects is described. The method may include providing a surface, wherein the surface is desired to be nonadhesive to an insect having a foot contact structure, and creating or otherwise applying to or on the surface, features that are commensurate in size to a contact area size of the contact structure on the bottom of insect feet. The method may be used to provide a device which attaches to an insect trap cone, funnel, or pyramid, wherein the device comprises the nonadhesive surface. | 07-26-2012 |

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 |
