A pest control composition in a solid stick form is provided for topical application around the neck or on the face of domesticated animals such as dogs, cats, cattle, horses and the like to control fleas, lice, ticks, flies, and like pests. Topical application about the neck or face of the animal in an amount ranging from about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, preferably about 0.13 to 0.25 grams, per kilogram of body weight results in the elimination of all fleas at the end of twenty to twenty four hours, a single application being effective for one to two weeks in most cases without evidence of irritation to the animal. The stick composition of the present invention comprises 0-(2-isopropoxyphenyl)-N-methyl-carbamate as the active ingredient uniformly dispersed in a compatible solid base material and in a stable state. The present invention provides a pesticidal package for applying the composition to the neck or face of the animal.

An insecticidal package for applying a thin film of water-insoluble insecticide to a household surface including a container and insecticidal stick. The stick comprises from 0.25 to 15 weight percent insecticide, from 10 to 65 weight percent of a fatty alkyl monoether of propylene glycol, from 30 to 75 weight percent of monoethanolamide of fatty acid and optional quantities of liquid lubricity agent compatible therewith, the total liquid content not exceeding 65 weight percent.
Tubules which contain an active agent in their lumen and compositions containing such microtubules are effective for providing a slow, controlled release of the active agent. Such microtubules are useful in the production of coating compositions for the protection of surfaces coming into contact with water, adhesive resins for the production of laminated wood products, and devices for dispensing pesticides.
The present invention relates to flea serine protease proteins; to flea serine protease nucleic acid molecules, including those that encode such proteins; to antibodies raised against such proteins; and to compounds that inhibit flea serine protease activities. The present invention also includes methods to obtain such proteins, nucleic acid molecules, antibodies, and inhibitors. Also included in the present invention are therapeutic compositions comprising such proteins, nucleic acid molecules, antibodies, and/or inhibitors as well as the use of such therapeutic compositions to protect a host animal from flea infestation.
The invention relates to ectoparasiticide-containing polyurethanes which contain spreading agents and ectoparasiticides or mixtures of ectoparasiticides and to said ectoparasiticide-containing polyurethanes in the form of sheets, films, shaped articles, coatings or impregnations. Also included in the invention is the use of said polyurethane compositions for combating ectoparasiticides.
The invention relates to ectoparasiticide-containing polyurethane collars for animals containing spreading agents and ectoparasiticides as well as methods for their manufacture.
