Problems solved by technology

A pest is an organism which is detrimental to humans or human concerns.
Commercially available insecticides, including those available for home use, commonly comprise active ingredients or poisons which are not only toxic to the target insect pests, but, if used in relatively confined environments and delivered as aerosol sprays, can be present in sufficient concentration to also be toxic to humans and household pets.
Various undesirable side effects may include immediate or delayed neurotoxic r

Example 1

Objective

[0099]To demonstrate the effectiveness of a termicidal composition in accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, an experiment was conducted to evaluate treated cellulose material for its resistance to subterranean termites the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) Standard E1-13 was implemented. In the experiment, single choice tests and two choice tests were performed simultaneously. The experiment tested wood treated with one embodiment of the claimed invention against Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus, as the targeted insect. The experiment was conducted utilizing the embodiment of the invention containing the insect repelling composition which includes approximately 25% by weight cold pressed orange oil component having a D-Limonene concentration of at least 80%, and approximately 75% by weight acrylic lacquer component, with the acrylic lacquer component comprising approximately 45% by weight modified acrylic emulsion copolymer, ...

Objective

[0119]To further evaluate the effectiveness of termiticidal compositions disclosed herein in accordance with embodiments of the invention, an additional experiment was conducted to evaluate treated cellulose material for its resistance to subterranean termites and to compare conventional termiticide to the compositions, in accordance with embodiments of the invention. The American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) Standard E1-13 was implemented. In the experiment, single choice tests and two choice tests were performed simultaneously. The experiment tested wood samples treated with four different compositions, of which three of the compositions were provided in accordance with embodiments of the invention disclosed herein, and the fourth composition was the conventional BORA-CARE® termiticide composition produced by Nisus Corporation. The tested wood samples were treated with a Treatment Y, a Treatment X, a Treatment B, and a Treatment BC, for use against Formosan...
