Description

  The present invention relates to a composition for killing a pest by maintaining the cooling state of the pest.

  Conventionally, insecticide compositions containing active ingredients such as pyrethroids have been used to control pests. However, the use of insecticide compositions containing these drugs has led to the problem that pesticides develop resistance to the pests, resulting in a decrease in the control effect. Insecticides containing new drugs as active ingredients The development of agent compositions has been desired.

  Under such circumstances, various studies have been made on active ingredients replacing pyrethroids and the like. For example, a pest control agent containing a compound having a pest anesthetic effect such as n-pentane (for example, see Patent Document 1 below) ), Aerosol spray type insecticide composition containing trichlorotrifluoroethane or the like as an active ingredient (for example, see Patent Document 2 below), pest control agent containing 2,3-dihydrodecafluoropentane as an active ingredient (for example, the following) Patent Document 3) is known.

Pyrethroid insecticides such as metfurthrin; organophosphorus insecticides such as fenitrothion, dichlorvos, chlorpyrifosmethyl, diazinon, fenthion; carbamate insecticides such as carbaryl, propoxur; insecticides such as metoprene, pyriproxyfen, methoxadiazone, fipronil, amidoflumet Although an agent may be contained, a pest can be killed without containing an insecticide as an active ingredient.
Further, it does not exclude the inclusion of bactericides (antifungal agents), deodorants, fragrances (fragrances), pigments and the like.

  The composition according to this embodiment can be applied to various pests, but is particularly effective against large pests such as cockroaches such as German cockroaches, black cockroaches and cockroaches, and a large pest such as centipede.

  In the insecticidal method according to the present embodiment, the cooling state is maintained by bringing the composition into contact with a pest to completely kill it. For example, the above composition can be pressurized and filled in a pressure-resistant container equipped with an injection device as an aerosol composition, and the composition can be brought into contact with the pest by spraying the composition against the pest, thereby controlling the pest.

  In the insecticidal method according to the present embodiment, for example, the composition is sprayed as an aerosol composition at a spraying distance of 30 cm and a spraying amount of 4 ml / second toward the pests for 5 seconds. In this case, it is preferable that the cooling holding time of −40 ° C. or less of the pest after the supply of the composition to the pest is 60 seconds or more. Further, the cooling holding time of −40 ° C. or lower is more preferably 90 seconds or longer from the viewpoint of obtaining a higher insecticidal effect. When the composition according to this embodiment contains at least one compound selected from the group consisting of dimethyl ether and hydrofluoroolefin, and myristic acid alkyl ester, these cooling holding times can be easily obtained. In addition, the injection conditions of a composition are not restricted above.

  By the way, when the conventional aerosol composition is used, it is considered that the pest cooling holding time is not sufficiently secured because it is difficult to kill the pests. On the other hand, according to the composition according to the present embodiment, the cooling and holding time of the pest is sufficiently ensured. In this regard, when the composition according to the present embodiment is used, after the supply of the composition to the pests is stopped, the pest temperature tends to gradually increase after continuing to decrease for a certain time. Such a peculiar phenomenon is considered to be a factor for ensuring a sufficient cooling time for the pests.

  According to the composition according to the present embodiment, by using dimethyl ether and myristic acid alkyl ester in combination, or by using hydrofluoroolefin and myristic acid alkyl ester in combination, while ensuring sufficient safety, Cooling action against pests can be enhanced. According to such a composition, since it becomes easy to maintain the cooling state of a pest and can increase the cooling holding time of a pest compared with the past, the pest is not only brought to a paralyzed state but also completely killed. be able to. Therefore, according to the composition which concerns on this embodiment, the high insecticidal effect by a cooling effect | action can be acquired, ensuring sufficient safety | security.
