A method for applying a barrier to structures to prevent the infiltration of pest species (unwanted organisms) uses a (e.g., coating) composition formed from a polyurethane (e.g., film-forming) polymer system and a pellet comprising a pesticide incorporated into a sorbent and dispersed in the polyurethane polymer system. The composition protects the structure by application either to the structure or to a pathway that leads to the structure. Advantageous polymer systems include polyurethanes rich in urea linkages and predominating in aliphatic and alicyclic backbones.

A method for applying a barrier to a structure to prevent the infiltration of pest species includes providing a composition and associating the coating composition with the structure. The composition is formed from a polymer component having dispersed therein beads formed from colloidal clay and adsorbed pest control agent. Colloidal clays (e.g., nano-clays) adsorb more pest control agent that do standard clays and releases the adsorbed pest control agent at a slower rate than do standard clays.

An ink/air separator for an ink jet printer has one or more plates 77, 79, 81, 83 over which an ink/air mixture can spread. Preferably there is more than one plate, and the mixture overflows from one plate to the next. Preferably adjacent plates are spaced so that as the mixture passes between two plates it contacts the surface above it as well as the surface below it. The plates may be separated by a gap of 10 mm or less, e.g. a gap of 2 mm to 5 mm, where they overlap Preferably some or all of the plate surfaces contacted by the mixture are roughened. Interaction between the ink/air mixture and the plate surface tends to slow the flow of very small air bubbles and encourage them to accumulate and/or merge, so that they separate from the ink more quickly than individual small bubbles. The ink/air separator may be connected in the path of unused ink returned from the gutter 27 of a continuous ink jet printer to an ink tank 39, or may be placed inside the ink tank 39.
