Abstract

The present disclosure relates to pesticidal compositions and to methods for controlling pests such as insects and other arthropods. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a pesticidal compositions containing mineral oil and one or more additional components which, when used in combination, act synergistically to control insect and pest populations.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of controlling cockroaches, the method comprising contacting a cockroach with a pesticidally effective amount of a composition comprising a first active ingredient and at least 3% of a second active ingredient by weight of the composition, the first active ingredient being a mineral oil and the second active ingredient being an alcohol. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the alcohol is selected from the group consisting of C1-C14 saturated straight-chain alcohols, isopropyl alcohol, 2-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, tertiary butyl alcohol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-phenylethanol, diacetone alcohol, 2-ethoxyethanol and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the alcohol is selected from the group consisting of methanol, 1-proponal, 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, 1-nonanol, 1-decanol, 1-undecanol, 1-dodecanol, 1-tetradecanol, 2-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, tertiary butyl alcohol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-phenylethanol, diacetone alcohol, 2-ethoxyethanol and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the composition is packaged as a pump spray. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the composition is packaged in a pressurized container. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the composition comprises from about 10% to about 60% alcohol compounds by weight of the composition. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the alcohol is a C3-C7 saturated straight-chain alcohol. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the composition comprises at least about 30% mineral oil by weight of the composition. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the composition further comprises a plant essential oil or derivative. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the mineral oil is a petroleum distillate. 
     
     
         11 . A method of controlling arthropods, the method comprising contacting an arthropod with a pesticidally effective amount of a composition comprising a first active ingredient and a second active ingredient, the first active ingredient being a mineral oil and the second active ingredient being an alcohol selected from the group consisting of methanol, 1-proponal, 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, 1-nonanol, 1-decanol, 1-undecanol, 1-dodecanol, 1-tetradecanol, 2-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, tertiary butyl alcohol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-phenylethanol, diacetone alcohol, 2-ethoxyethanol and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the arthropod is a cockroach. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the composition is packaged as a pump spray. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the composition is packaged in a pressurized container. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the alcohol is a C1-C14 saturated straight-chain alcohol. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the alcohol is selected from the group consisting of 2-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, tertiary butyl alcohol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-phenylethanol, diacetone alcohol, 2-ethoxyethanol and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the composition comprises at least about 3% alcohol compounds by weight of the composition. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the composition comprises from about 10% to about 60% alcohol compounds by weight of the composition. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the composition further comprises a plant essential oil or derivative. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the mineral oil is a petroleum distillate.
