May 28, 2019

Insecticidal compositions have at least one active agent and at least one insecticide. The active agent can include perilla oil, a component found in perilla oil, or a perillaldehyde or carvone analog. The insecticide can include a pyrethrum, pyrethrin, pyrethroid, neonicotinoid, chlofenapyr, ethiprole, sulfoxoflor, carbamate, organophosphate, or organochlorine. Methods for controlling insects include contacting an insect with an effective amount of a composition described in this specification. Modified plants that produce an active agent can be contacted with an insecticide.

CLARKE MOSQUITO CONTROL PRODUCTS, INC. (St. Charles, IL, US)

1. A method for killing mosquitoes by contacting a population of mosquitoes with a composition comprising: i. a pyrethrin selected from the group consisting of Jasmolin-I, Cinerin-I, Pyrethrin-I, Jasmolin-II, Cinerin-II, Pyrethrin-II, and a combination thereof, and ii. a carvone selected from the group consisting of R-carvone, S-carvone, and a combination thereof, wherein the R-carvone and the S-carvone are isolated, synthetic, or a combination thereof, and wherein the composition effectively kills the mosquitoes.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is topically applied to the population in an amount sufficient to kill at least 25% of the population.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is topically applied to the population in an amount sufficient to kill at least 50% of the population.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied by an aerosol, fog, mist, spray, vapor, coating, paint, or a combination thereof.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the composition is applied by ultra low volume spray.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the population is exposed to the composition so that the composition is ingested by the mosquitoes sufficient to kill at least 50% of the population.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is substantially free of piperonyl butoxide.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is substantially free of N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pyrethrin is at least about 1% and less than about 95% by weight of the composition.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pyrethrin is at least about 1% and less than about 60% by weight of the composition.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carvone is about 1% to about 15% by weight of the composition.

12. A method for killing mosquitoes by contacting a population of mosquitoes with a composition comprising: i. a pyrethrin selected from the group consisting of Jasmolin-I, Cinerin-I, Pyrethrin-I, Jasmolin-II, Cinerin-II, Pyrethrin-II, and a combination thereof, ii. a carvone selected from the group consisting of R-carvone, S-carvone, and a combination thereof, wherein the R-carvone and the S-carvone are isolated, synthetic, or a combination thereof, and iii. mineral oil, glycerol, or other diluent that provides viscosity modifying properties such that the composition can be formulated to be suitable for application as an aerosol, fog, mist, spray, vapor, coating, paint, or a combination thereof, wherein the composition effectively kills the mosquitoes.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition is applied as an ultra low volume spray.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition is topically applied to the population in an amount sufficient to kill at least 25% of the population.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition is topically applied to the population in an amount sufficient to kill at least 50% of the population.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the population is exposed to the composition so that the composition is ingested by the mosquitoes sufficient to kill at least 50% of the population.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition is substantially free of piperonyl butoxide.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition is substantially free of N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein the pyrethrin is at least about 1% and less than about 95% by weight of the composition.

20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the pyrethrin is at least about 1% and less than about 60% by weight of the composition.

21. The method of claim 12 , wherein the carvone is about 1% to about 15% by weight of the composition.
