Abstract
A method of controlling e.g. bed bugs and other pests such as head lice and body lice involves impregnating a pre-formed fabric with a liquid composition comprising an agent noxious to the pests, e.g. a pyrethroid insecticide. The fabric is applied around an article such as a pillow, mattress, duvet, cushion, beanbag or domestic pet bed. An infestation of head or body lice is treated by contacting the infected area for an extended period with the impregnated fabric.
Description
METHOD OF CONTROLLING ARTHROPOD
The present invention relates to the use of pesticideimpregflated fabrics in linings and/or coverings to combat arthropod host-seeking pests, for example bed bugs, lice, mites, fleas and ticks. In particular, the invention relates to the use of pesticideimpregnated fabrics, particularly pyrethroidimPregh1at fabrics, in covering bedding material.
Pet animals and humans are subject to attack from arthropod pests while they sleep; the lack of motion and proximity to permeable structures which provide a sheltered environment for such pests, for example bedding and upholstery, mean that while sleeping, pets and humans are easy targets for arthropodS, sucking a human or animal host. The arthropodS may simply seek a warm environment, for example in hair or fur, or they may additionally be blood- seeking ones, which, once they have found a host, attack the skin in order to suck blood from the host.
One example of such a pest is common bed bug Cimex lectulariUS. This generally hides in daytime and feeds at night. Bed bugs primarily feed on the blood of humans, although they are also known to feed on other mammals and on birds. Bed bugs feed by inserting stylets, found within their proboscis into the skin of a host and injecting a fluid into the skin to aid in obtaining blood.
The host usually does not feel the bite itself, however, there is often an allergic reaction to a protein found within the fluid that is injected into the skin. Such an allergic reaction causes a welt to appear on the skin which becomes inflamed, irritated and itchy. Discomfort from a bed bug bite may last over a week. Once engorged with blood, a bed bug will not need to feed again for several days, and will hide whilst digesting its meal.
In addition to the bites found on the skin of a host, infestation of a room by bed bugs may also be detected by the fecal smears and blood spots that become visible on the bedding material and, in the case of heavy infestations, by the characteristic of their aggregation pherOfl1er0fle which is like that of the spice coriander.
In the early stages of infestation, bed bugs typically seek refuge in the tufts, seams, and folds of mattresses and bed covers; later they spread to cracks and crevices in the bedsteads. If allowed to multiply they establish themselves in furniture and behind articles such as base boards, window and door casings, pictures and mottidings.
Bed bugs may be spread in clothing or baggage, which can cause particular problems for hotels where the constant flow of traveHerS and visitors make it much easier for bed bugs to be spread. Bed bugs may also be spread when, bedding material, laundry or furniture are transported.
One method of controlling bed bugs is to use insecticides such as natural pyrethrins or synthetic pyrethroids. United States Patent Specifications 6,037,371 and 6,495,577 both disclose the use of pesticidal compositions containing pyrethroid compounds to control bed bugs.
There are several reasons why pyrethroid insecticides are ideal for such uses: 1) They have a very low mammalian toxicity which means that they are considered relatively safe for use on or near humans. Indeed, there are several preparations available which can be applied directly onto the skin or hair which contain permethrifl.
2) They have a very high toxicity for insects. This means that they can be used in extremely low doses and lead to rapid knockdown and death of the insects, often within minutes or even seconds of contact.
3) They are stable compounds under normal environmental conditions, often giving excellent protection levels for six months or more.
4) Unlike numerous other classes of insecticides, there is, as yet, very limited resistance in the field to these compounds.
Pyrethroid insecticides are widely commercially available in a number of different formulations which have different physical properties. They have been generally available for many years in the form of wettable powders and emulsifiable concentrates. In the former, the pesticide is present in dry particulate form, in the latter in a liquid form. More recently micrOemUl510t, suspension concentrates and capsule suspensions have been developed, though their cost is greater, so use tends to be confined to wealthier countries; wettable powders and emulsifiable concentrates are still widely used in the third world and developing economy countries.
Wettable powders have been widely used in connection with the provision of a reservoir of pesticide in a fixed location, especially on floors and walls of areas of buildings which might otherwise provide sites for pest colonisation.
After application, the pesticide exerts a pesticidal effect on insects, or other pests that come into contact with it. As the term implies, the powder is "wettable" and it is usually applied by spraying where needed a spray formulation formed by incorporating the wettable powder into a quantity of water, and if necessary or desired other components to form the final spray formulation. On drying off the water, the particles of active agent are present on the surface of the article or structure sprayed, but they are not strongly attached thereto.
When emulsifiable concentrates are used, the particles of pesticides tend, because of the formulation of the concentrate, to become much more tightly attached. For example, United States Patent Specification 5,916, 580 discloses the use of an emulsifiable concentrate of a pyrethroid compound bound to the fine structure of netting fabric to control dust mites. Binding the emulsifiable concentrate in this way has the effect that the particles are gradually released over time to exert their pesticidal action.
It has now been found that control of bed bugs and other host-Seeking pests can be effected by using an covering adapted to fit S around, for example, bedding materiaL Thus, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a method of reducing and/or eliminating a population of hostseeking pests using an agent nOXIOUS to the pests, but safe in contact with human or animal skin, preferably a pyrethroid insecticide, comprising impregnating a pre-formed fabric with a liquid composition containing the nOXiOUS agent, drying the fabric, and applying the fabric as a covering around or against a pillow, mattress, duvet, cushion, beanbag, domestic pet bed or upholstered surface whereby to reduce in number or eliminate host-seeking pests therein or thereon.
In the present context, the term "covering1' is intended to mean not only a covering per Se, i.e. a fabric structure designed to fit around an article and cover it entirely, but also a lining sheet, backing, inlay, interlining, film, layer, overlay or the like which may serve only to cover a part of an article or the surface of an article susceptible to infestation.
A wide variety of fabrics may be used in practiSing the invention, including both woven fabrics and non-woven fabrics. The weight and structure may vary widely. Although close woven or fitted fabrics may be used, it is not necessary to use fabrics which would constitute a physica' barrier difficult for the pests to cross, as their action arises because of the presence of the noxious agent. Accordingly, loose weave mesh, knitted or net structure fabrics may all be used, e.g. gauze, voile, muslin. The fabric may be made of natural or synthetic fibre, or mixtures thereof. In a particularly preferred embodiment the covering is constructed, at least in part, of mesh polyester fabric having a mesh width of between.5mm and 2mm.
The use of fabric with mesh width of wider than.5mm is particularly advantageous in that it reduces the amount of noxious agent which has to be used to achieve impregnation, and thus protectiOn1 because most of the area of a netting fabric is "hole", but it has been found in practice that, even if the holes are larger than the pests, contact with the noxiouS agent still occurs.
Preferably the noxious agent is a pyrethroid insecticide, for example, permethrifl or deltamethrifl. More than one agent may be present, of similar or different types.
In a preferred embodiment the covering is designed to fit around an article, for example, a pillow, mattress, duvet, cushion, beanbag or domestic pet bed, particularly a pillow, mattress or duvet, such that the surfaces of the article are completely covered. Alternatively, a covering can be constructed which only covers some of the surfaces. In a further alternative, the covering may take the form of a lining, e.g. for the inside of a sleeping bag.
The use of the covering on bedding provides a separate specific advantage to the user: because of the close contact for extended periods of time between the body of a sleeper and the bedding itself, the covering may act against any infestation from which the sleeper is already suffering and against which the pyrethroid insecticide is effective, notably head lice and body lice. The use of such coverings to combat such infestations, even in cases where no bed bugs are present, constitutes a further feature of the invention. AlternativelY, the covering is adapted to be used for lining an article, or is used as a sheet. In this way it will find use in association with articles such as a curtain, a pelmet or a wall covering.
EXAMPLE
The following example will serve to illustrate the invention: Bulk polyester netting (knitted, 100% polyester multifilanieflt fibre ex Milliken & Company, SpartansbUrg SC) was taken and padded through an impregnated bath consisting of an emulsifiable concentrate of permethrifl (PERMANONE ex AgrEvo Environmental Health, Montvale, NJ). The process conditions were such as to provide a concentration of permethrifl once the wet netting had been dried, of 550 milligrams per m2. Following impregnation and drying, the now impregnated fabric is suitable to be made into mattress, pillow and duvet covers by conventional processes of cutting and sewing.
