Description

COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING FERTILIZERS OF AGGREGATION, ITS PRODUCTION AND USES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to the production of stable cockroach aggregation pheromone products, active extracts thereof, and insect traps that use them. These products are useful in the control of cockroach testing.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BACKGROUND Due to their exposure to non-hygienic areas, such as sewers, cockroaches are usually associated with the awakening of many health-related problems. More than a hundred different species of pathogenic bacteria that cause disease carried by cockroaches have been discovered. It has also been discovered that cockroaches also carry other microorganisms such as viruses, protozoa, and parasitic worms (Cornwell, The Cockroach, vol.1 (L96R)). The use of certain chemical and food attractants for cockroaches is known. Among them are starch, sugar and fatty acids, such as rmnsic acid and palinitic acid and esters of these fatty acids (Japanese Patent Publication No. 44-320). Other chemicals have been suggested, such as naphthalene derivatives (Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-69701 and 61-72702); alkyl phenol or aikilfem lamina (pa + of F.U.A. No. 4,911,907), which are specific for male cockroaches, and furan derivatives (US Patent No. 4,945,107). However, it has been found that most of the substances have low activity and had to be used in extremely high concentrations. In addition, a method has also been proposed to control the infestation of cockroaches, which falls on the exposure of cockroaches to irradiation with ultraviolet rays. For example, the ultraviolet light of longer wavelengths and below 291 nm were used on and off for 15 minutes, for a total time of 9 to 96 hours. It is said that this method also inhibits oteca formation. However, this method of controlling cockroaches is expensive and difficult to implement except in specific cases. Several cockroach traps are commercially available. However, most of these traps are quite ineffective because they do not contain effective cockroach attractants. Such is the case of adhesive traps and traps that contain boric acid bait. The aggregation feroas are produced by many cockroaches, such as the American cockroach or Periplane + a americana, the oriental cockroach or Blattela orientalis, and the German cockroach or Germanic Bla tola, among others. The production of these species induces the cockroaches to be added locally (Bell et al., 3. Kans, Environment 1. Soc 45: 414 (1972)). It has been reported that the aggregation pheromone composition produced by the German cockroach contains more than 150 different chemical compounds (Fuchs et al., 7. Angew Environment !. 99: 499 (1985)). Several components of the aggregation pheromone composition produced by the American cockroach have also been identified (Koehler, et al., Handbook of Pest Control, Franzak and Foster Co., Cleveland, OH (1990)). However, it was found that they are very volatile and expensive to produce. In this way, some method to produce large amounts of stable aggregation pheromones is not currently available. The aggregation pheromones have been previously extracted from German cockroach feces (Germanic lattella) using Freon l as a solvent (Fuchs et al., Z. Angew.In + omol 99: 499 (1985)). The use of fecal materials from cockroaches not only has logistical problems, but is also not economical. The extracts of Freon 11 from cockroach feces have been characterized. These contain chemicals that can be easily classified into two groups. The first group comprises volatile substances that attract cockroaches while the other group comprises non-volatile substances that have capture activity, for example, they act to add cockroaches. An ideal racer should not only attract cockroaches in low concentrations but, once roaches are attracted to the site, they should have a prolonged stationary effect on the insects. However, until now, although it was known that aggregation feroinones were present in cockroach feces, the extraction of these pheromones has been impractical and non-economic since it requires large amounts of fecal material and poses hygienic problems. The patent of E.U.A. No. 4,337,592 to Hasegawa describes the extermination of cockroaches with aviolate radiation. Furthermore, the above patent discloses the elimination of aggregation pheromone activity by ultraviolet irradiation of insect feces and extracts from P. americana, P. fuliginosa, P. austrasiae, B. germanica, and N. cinerea In the patent of the prior art, pheromones were obtained by extracting cockroach excrement with methane, and then irradiated with a germicidal ultraviolet lamp of the bra type. The patent of E.U.A. No. 4,608,774 to Sherrnan discloses a gravity operated cockroach trap having a rectangular tunnel-like inner channel, with walls arranged at an angle greater than 10 ° and preferably from 44 to 45 °, so that the insect at the inclination will be attracted by gravity in the receptacle. In one of the embodiments, the previous patent contemplates the coating of the conduit surfaces with ilicon or petrolatum. These are solid lubricants that are becoming less and less useful as the angle of the receptacle pads increases. When the inclination of the legs is much greater than 45 °, the insects are able to scrape off the surfaces of the solid covering and attach themselves to the material of the solid wall. The complex nature of cockroach aggregation pheromone compositions, their instability, and an inability to mass produce in large quantities, have impeded the manufacture and availability of effective cockroach ramp or temptation products that contain them. Thus, there is a need for a reliable, low cost method to manufacture formulations containing cockroach aggregation pheromones that retain their ability to attract and capture cockroaches.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a sterile product comprising cockroach aggregation pheromones, and to its solvent extracts, which are stable for several years in storage. This invention also relates to a method for producing * the sterile product and the aggregation pheromone extracts by themselves. This invention also provides a device for trapping cockroaches, designed to house trapped cockroaches, for example, so that they can generate fresh aggregation pheromones, which, in turn, attract and trap more cockroaches. The present pheromone products can be used alone or in combination with cockroach traps or baits currently available to improve their effectiveness.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE The figure shows a schematic representation of one embodiment of the trap for the purposes of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES the present invention arose during the course of studies on the behavior of cockroaches, during which the inventors unexpectedly discovered that large quantities of aggregation pheromones can be obtained by placing a solid substrate, for example, non-scratch-off carton sheets. wood, among others, inside the cockroach colonies. Due to the porous nature of the board and wood, large amounts of aggregation feroinones are deposited, and it has been found that the products thus obtained are surprisingly stable, for example, for more than two years at room temperature. In this way, the present invention solves a problem that prevented the commercial availability of aggregation pheromones as attractants / cockroach capturing. Two types of pheromone activity groups were separated by exposing a solvent extract of omeromones of the invention to basic resins and acids, and have been further characterized in the present. The first type is a group of volatile attractant compounds that is found to be moderately basic and that bind to acidic resins. The second type is a group of captives that was discovered to include compounds of a slightly acrylic nature and binds to basic resins. It was also discovered that several neutral compounds possess lower feronone activity. In this manner, this invention provides a novel product, composition and methods for preparing the product and the composition and its use in the manufacture of insect traps to trap cockroaches. In one aspect, this invention provides an insecticidal product comprising a solid substrate comprising cockroach aggregate ferromones. The substrate can be a matrix capable of having the ferromonas embedded therein or it can be a substrate in the form of a layer, in which the ferromonas are deposited, absorbed, adsorbed, sprayed, coated, and the like.
In general, the solid substrate can be wood, cellulose, plastic, ceramics, metal, leather, nylon, rubber, paraffin, wax, cotton, foam, cloth, globules, polystyrene and polymers, e? L? C ? o, adhesive tapes, and plaster, among others. The solid substrate can be a porous or non-porous polymer, such as polypropylene polymers, poly? polyvinyl, polyurethane and polystyrene polymer, among others. Cellulose derivatives and wood are the preferred solid substrates, due to their porous nature that allow absorption, adsorption or deposition of aggregation pheromones produced by insects. Most types of wood substrates which are available in a conventional manner are suitable for use herein, such as wood chips, flakes, fragments, dust, sawdust, sheet metal, plywood, hardwood, softwood, fiber board, particle board, plaster, Mende table, wafer board, and strand board, among others. Examples of cellulose substrate are paper such as wax paper, printing paper and writing paper., and paper towels, cardboard, fibers, cork, cellophane, cellulose derivatives such as co-methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and cellulose membranes, and many others that are available commerically. The insecticidal product of this invention can be supplemented by the addition of another substrate provided by an adhesive surface, such as glue or other adhesive substance used in current insect traps, and / or other insecticidal agents. Examples of insecticidal agents that are currently used are boric acid, borates, various types of nernatode compositions, such as those described in the US patent. 4,615,883 to Nolsen and others, entopathogens including bacteria, for example, B. thurmgiensis, viruses such as those described in the U.S. patent. '1,541,203 to Fogle and Peyton, and baculoviruses, fungal pathogens, and the like, insect growth regulators (RCTs), botanical and chemical insecticides such as rollers, organophosphates, carbamates and chlorinated hydrocarbons, among others, and chitin synthesis inhibitors, known in the art. These insecticidal agents can generally be provided in solid or liquid form, as well as in the form of a gel, paste and the like, as shown for example by the US patent. 5,141,744 to Chang et al. The insecticidal product of the invention is usually obtained by placing an appropriate substrate within a cockroach colony with food and water, collecting the feronones deposited in the substrates and sterilizing, for example, by c-irradiation to prevent the growth of germs. . This is a remarkable advantage over the prior art insecticidal preparations containing pheromones, which are based primarily on insect feces. As you are known in the art, insect feces are usually contaminated with pathogens, and this becomes an on a problem par-to marketing. Optionally, most of the feces are removed after collecting the ubst rats. The stabilization can be carried out effectively by irradiation with X-rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays and nicroondas, as well as by electron bombardment. The product of aggregation proteins and extract of this invention can also be sterilized by exposure to low temperatures, plasma sterilization, and / or by sterilization with gases such as packed oxide and the like. The irradiation conditions for the product and the extract of the invention can be adjusted in terms of the intensity of the irradiation source, and the exposure time, to ensure that the activity of the pheromones is conserved. Preferably, the irradiation of the product or extract of the invention is conducted for about 10 seconds to about 2 hours, and most preferred about 10 minutes to 1 hour. Prolonged irradiation, for example, of more than about 9 hours, and even more than about 5 hours, with, for example, ultraviolet rays, can be avoided. The insecticidal product of the invention can be packaged in a unit form or in packages of several units, and can be sterilized before or after packing in a sealed container. The product can be sold in large numbers or as individual units contained in boxes, for example. The insecticidal product can be sealed in a package either as a unit or in groups of, for example, 2, 5, 10, or more units, preferably in a shrink wrap packaging on the side. This invention also provides an insecticidal composition comprising a solvent extract of the product of the invention described above. This composition may contain different amounts of the aggregation pheromones obtained from the cockroaches. Clearly, there is no limit to the amount of pheromones that may be present in the solvent extrusion, except for its own solubilities in the solvent. The insecticidal composition can be prepared by removing the embedded substrate with the aggregation ferromones, after substically removing all feces, with a variety of solvents, including aqueous and organic solvents, and mixtures thereof. Examples of organic solvents are aliphatic alcohols, hydrocarbons, halogenated derivatives, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, carboxylic acids and esters thereof, among others, and in particular the lower members of these solvents, for example, the compounds of -Cio), and in the case of alcohols, aliphatic alcohols of (C2-C10), since methane is harmful to humans. Preferred solvents are moderately polar solvents, including those of an acidic and light basic nature. Polar-es solvents tend to extract components of the acidic and basic type while the basic solvents tend to extract * to a greater degree the acidic feronone components and the acidic solvents tend to extract * to a greater degree the basic pheromone components. In this way, pheromones can be extracted with the aid of solvents ranging from a polar solvent such as water to nonpolar solvents such as hexane, due to the multicomponent nature of the composition. Aggregation pheromones are conveniently added from the materials used to place in platform or layer, with aqueous or organic solvents, after separating faecal materials from them. The preferred organic solvents are ethane, preferably about 70 to 95% ethane, and isopropane, both being sterilizing solvents and commonly used as topical antiseptics. Because of their antiseptic and sterilizing capabilities, the non-sterile aggregate ferromones deposited, absorbed or adsorbed onto solid substrates can be extracted directly with these organic solvents to produce sterile aggregation pheromone extract without prior sterilization as indicated above. further, ethane and propane are examples of solvents that are not known to harm humans, as opposed to, for example, methane. Other solvents possessing antiseptic properties, which can also be used to extrude non-sterile and sterile aggregation pheromones of solid substrates include for soul, sodium hypochlo- prate, propylene glycol, sodium benzoate, nonox- mol, glutaraldehyde, chloride <benzalcomo, ciorhexidina, phenol, paramonoclorophenol, diglyclic ether, mixtures thereof, mixtures thereof with ethane and / or propane and mixtures of the same with other commonly used chemicals or preservatives. The composition of the invention can be used as the original extract, or the solvent separated from the pheromone composition and a different formulation prepared in the form of a solution or suspension in a suitable medium, or mixed with or absorbed in a vehicle or diluent. suitable. In this way, the present composition can be used in liquid or solid form. In addition, other ingredients such as additives including ernulsifiers, suspending agents, dispersing agents, spreaders, stabilizers, anti-oxidants and the like can also be used. The feronone composition of this invention can be mixed with or placed close to biological or chemical insecticides. The insecticidal composition can be provided in liquid form as well as in solid, powder, gel, paste, serní-liquid, and solid-solitary forms, among other forms. The preparation of different forms of the composition is known in the art and does not need to be explained in great detail. For example, the solid form of the composition can be obtained by evaporation of the solvent used in the extraction of the ferromones, and the gel and paste forms are described in the art. or The insecticidal composition of this invention containing aggregation proteins can be formulated in various forms such as powder, powders, and with the aid of a vehicle in granules, tablets, adhesive tapes, and the like. In another aspect, this invention provides an insect ramp 1, comprising a hollow receptacle 7 provided with an internal surface 2 and an opening 8 for receiving insects, such as cockroaches. The receptacle 7 can optionally be provided with a cover 6. the inner surface 2 of the receptacle 7 is provided with the product of the invention 3 fixed to the inner surface 2 of the receptacle 7. An example of this trap is shown in the accompanying figure this patent, and has an external container or receptacle 7 with an opening 8 through which insects can enter-, and placed, for example, in the lower part of the inner surface 2 is the solid substrate 3 impregnated with the aggregates feronones and / or extract thereof. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the trap also contains insect feed 4 and water 5. In a preferred embodiment, the insect trap is sterilized, preferably by gamma irradiation. However, other types of sterilizations compatible with the materials used would also be suitable. In another embodiment, the insect trap is in a sealed envelope or package, and can be sold as a unit or as packages, for example, 2, 5, 10 or more traps. In a more preferred embodiment, the insect trap, in the form of one or more units, is packaged in a shrink wrap package, optionally in sterile form. The insect trap may be provided with a slippery area around its opening and / or the inner surface surrounding the opening and / or still covering a portion or the entire inner surface of the receptacle, to prevent the exit of the cockroaches in the trap. The internal surface of the trap becomes slippery, preferably by spraying or coating it with a liquid lubricant, such as petroleum liquid distillate, for example, silos such as catalyzed tin silos. catalized platinum ices, oils such as vegetable oils, corn oils and mineral oils, lecithin, polymers such as tet raf1 uoroe111ene, and tetraf1 uoroprop 11 ene polymer and mixture thereof, for example, Teflon, and pyrrolidone polymer such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, mixtures thereof and mixture of the same with insecticidal agents, and / or aye is. The food and water sources can also be placed inside the receptacle. The receptacle itself, in all modalities, can be made of various materials such as cardboard, plastic, glass, skin, ceramics, wood, cellulose and derivatives thereof, polymers such as polyurethane and the like, cotton, foam, globules, minerals such as silicon, or metal, among others. Preferred are cardboard and plastic, particularly for the area on the inner surface of the receptacle where the pheromone extract is placed. In another embodiment, the extract can be deposited on a substrate such as plastic, and placed inside the receptacle, which itself can be formed of a different material. The insect shell may also contain glue or other insecticidal agents such as chemical and botanical insecticides, insect growth regulators (RCL), fungal bacteria, viruses and pathogens, nematodes, and the like, which are known in the art for their activity. insecticide. The insect trap may be provided in unitized form or in 2, 5, 10 or more units packed separately or in groups, preferably in a sealed package, and most preferred in a sealed package with shrink wrap, preferably in sterile form. In another embodiment, due to the capabilities of the aggregation ferromants to attract and capture the attracted cockroaches, the product of this invention can be used to significantly increase the effectiveness of currently available insect traps., such as glue trap or bait stations. The aggregate fermentone product and extract formulated in accordance with this invention can be placed on various surfaces of the receptacle, for example, internal or external surface, including the top of the glue trap (bait station). The aggregation pheromone composition of this invention can be mixed or placed close to commonly used chemical or biological adhesives or insecticides. At bait stations, a preferred placement location is at the bottom of the upper deck, looking directly at the lower compartment containing chemical or biological insecticides. However, other places are also suitable. The product, composition and insect trap provided in the present may be used to trap insects, for example, cockroaches, by placing the sterile product, extrusion composition or insect ramp in a location close to the environment of the insects, allowing insects to aggregate in and around the placement site, and preventing insects from escaping from the site. The preparation of the insecticidal product and extract composition of the invention are exemplified below. A plurality of illustrative experimental data is provided to illustrate the present invention. This invention also comprises a trap <The insect comprises a hollow receptacle provided with an inner surface and an insect receiving opening, which is optionally provided with a cover. The internal surface of the receptacle is partially or totally slippery to prevent the exit of the insects from the trap. It has been found that this trap is suitable, by itself, to attract and capture such insects as cockroaches, although in smaller numbers than the traps containing the product or composition of the invention alone in combination with other baits, glue of a slippery surface. In general, the insecticidal product of this invention can be prepared by placing in an environment contained at least one solid substrate, and optionally feed for cockroach, water and / or aggregation ferromonas, and a cockroach colony, allowing the cockroaches move freely within the environment contained elo for an effective period to obtain a product that contains, among other ingredients, aggregation lerornonas, and separating the embedded product with pheromones from the colony of cockroaches, and preferably feces present In a preferred embodiment, the substrate is made of multiple substrates arranged in layers within the contained environment. The layers can be separated by spacers and in some cases, placed on supports for ease of handling. A suitable distance within the supports and / or layers e-Je substrate is from about 0.3175 cm to 0.305 rn, preferably from about 0.3175 cm to 1.83 m, more preferably from 0.635 ern to 0.61 rn, and still very preferable approximate. adam 0.635 crn. However, other separation distances can also be used. In addition to multiple layers of substrates, the preparation of ferrous products can be facilitated by adding a slippery material inside, or around the perimeter, of the contained environment and / or the tank to prevent the exodus of insects from the contained environment. Among the slippery materials used, liquid petroleum distillates are preferred, for example, WD40, Silicon-based materials, tetra-fluoroether polymers and tetra-Huoropropylene, for example, TeflonX, or mixtures thereof, such oils. as vegetable and corn oils, for example, corn oil, peanut oil, olive oil, and the like, slippery polymers such as those of pyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof such as a mixture of corn oil and silicone. methyl manufactured by CPC International, among others. You can use a vape < 1ad of substrates, such as wood, cardboard, ceramics, leather, foam, wax, polymers including plastics, nylon, polyester, rubber, and the like, cotton, silicon, plaster, among others. Wood is preferred in a variety of ways, and Oriental white pine is preferred. In order to prepare large amounts of aggregation pheromones, it is preferred that cockroaches can move freely within the environment contained therein, and that they be provided with food and water, so that the environment resembles a nest to a large extent. Under these conditions, cockroaches produce large amounts of pheromones, which are absorbed, adsorbed or deposited on solid substrates, in a short period. Cockroaches can move freely within the contained environment for an effective period to obtain a large amount of aggregation pheromones. Typically, the period of time may vary by one day and several months, and in some cases, it may be extended to a period of up to one year or several years, if desired. The slippery material provided herein, provided to infer the exodus of the cockroaches from the trap, is usually a liquid lubricant, which is applied < the internal surface and / or walls of the container. The use of solid lubricants, such as solid silicones, petrolatum, and the like, is suitable only to facilitate * the downward sliding of cockroaches to a substrate surface placed at a small angle., for * example, from 27 ° to 45 °. However, when the sides of the receptacle are positioned at an angle greater than 50 °, for example, up to an angle of 90 ° or more, solid lubricants or sernisoli such as petrolatum, allow the cockroaches to be clamped on the wall and dislodge Vaseline during its upward movement to escape. In other words, due to its insular nature, a layer of petrolatum can be easily divided by the clamping of the cockroach and be ineffective in retaining it in the receptacle. On the contrary, it was surprisingly observed that when liquid lubricants were used, such as those described herein, the cockroaches were retained and could not escape from the container. In this way, liquid lubricants are well suited in particular to prevent the exodus of insects when the angle of the coated surface exceeds 50 °, is greater than 70 ° and often times equal to or greater than 90 °. The addition of the liquid lubricant, to the internal surface of the receptacle or to the area near the opening, has a potential effect on the production of pheromones by insects preventing their exit from a contained environment that stimulates the accommodation of cockroaches. Among the slippery materials, liquid petroleum distillates are preferred, such as those contained in the thickness UD-? 0 \ available cornorcially. However, other such as those mentioned above are also suitable. Finally, the substrate containing the aggregation fer-omones is separated from the cockroach colony, and sterilized for storage, preferably by c-irradiation. Optional options can be removed from the substrates, if desired. However, other methods of sterilization can also be used. Similarly, the aggregation pheromone extract composition of this invention can be produced by placing a substrate having pheromones, produced as described above, absorbed, in contact with a solvent pair to the pheromones for an effective period to obtain an extrudate. -acid pheromones, and then the extract is separated from the substrate, and sterilized, preferably by irradiation 0. Typically, the extraction step can be carried out for about a few hours to several years, preferably two weeks to ten months. Alternatively, non-sterile aggregation pheromones deposited on solid substrates can be sterilized using organic solvents with antiseptic properties, such as ethane and isopropane, which are also safe for humans. Now, after describing the general in this invention, it will be better understood with reference to certain specific examples, which are included in the present f >For the purpose of illustration only and shall not be Limiting of the invention or any modality thereof, unless otherwise specified.
EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1: COLLECTION OF AGGREGATION FERROUSES Hazards of aggregation of the cockroaches were obtained in accordance with the following procedure. Large containers or containers, for example, with a capacity of 120 gallons, and various configurations, such as square, rectangular, round and cylindrical, were loaded with large quantities of cockroaches, eg, approximately 100,000, together with food (ele laboratory), and water. These containers were sprayed on the sides with a slippery material, for example, UÜ-40. The slippery edges helped prevent the exodus of the cockroaches and forced them to stay away from the sides of the containers. A cloth liner was placed on the upper part of each container to further prevent the escape of cockroaches. Fragments and / or oriental white pine wood boards were placed in each of the cockroach colonies. The fragments of pine wood were placed exactly in the lower part of the tank, where the cockroach colony was located, the pine boards were piled one on top of the other with spacings of a thickness of 0. 635 cm between them to allow the cockroaches to nest among each series of boards. The cockroaches could be nested in fragments and pine boards for periods of 3 to 6 months. The chips or tables were collected and used as a source of aggregation pheromones. Other absorbent cellulose-containing materials such as cardboard pieces were also used. It was also discovered that porous synthetic polymers such as plastics were effective in trapping cockroach aggregation ferromones.
?? EXAMPLE 2 EFFECT OF CUCARACHA LETHALITY OF THE ADDICTION OF AGGREGATE PHEROMONES IN ADHESIVE TRAPS The aggregation pheromones obtained from the German cockroaches in example 1 were added to adhesive traps available comfortably and their efficacy was tested against the traps alone. A tank of 0.76 meters x .30 meters x .30 meters covered with a cotton sheet was established as follows. Laboratory food and a damp paper towel were placed in the center of the tank as competitive sources of water and coryza. Approximately 30 cockroaches were placed on a 500 rnl plastic container provided with a cover, where the cockroaches were allowed to acclimate for 1 week, and the container was placed in the center of the tank. The container was adapted to stimulate a cockroach nest. Two adhesive traps, one with a sliver containing aggregation feroinones, and one without additives, were then placed on opposite sides of the tank, and the tank was placed in a dark environment and kept in the dark throughout the experiment. The container was then opened to release the cockroaches and let them move freely inside the tank. After 1 week, the number of cockroaches that '.'R was determined They stuck to each adhesive trap. Five separate tests were carried out as described and the results obtained are shown in table 1 below.
TABLE 1: EFFECT OF ADDING FEROMQNAS OF AGGREGATION IN COCKROACHES TRAPPED Test Adhesive Trap Adhesive Trap No. with fernadoonas (Control) 28 6 20 8 3 18 5 4 20 7 5 25 5 Cockroaches 111 31 trapped As can be seen from Table 1 above, it was discovered that adhesive traps containing ferromones captured an average of 22 cockroaches each, while only 6 cockroaches were trapped by each of the controls. These results show that adhesive traps with aggregation pheromones are at least 3.5 times more effective in catching cockroaches than commercially available adhesive traps.
EXAMPLE 3: LONG-TERM STABILITY OF THE AGGREGATE FEROMONE PRODUCT OF THE INVENTION The stability of the aggregation pheromones of the product deposited in pine wood chips and cardboard was tested as follows. Wood chips and / or cardboard pieces were acclimated separately in German cockroach colonies for a period of 6 months as described in Example 1 above. Then the wood chips and the cardboard pieces were removed and placed in separate plastic bags (ZiplocX brand)., Dow Chemical, Midland, MT), and sealed, the plastic bags were then sterilized by irradiation at 80 Krad. Sterility was proven by the absence of microbial growth by scraping the chips obtained with a sterile loop on nutrient agar plates and kept at 30 ° C for 7 days. The chips were removed after the Z? Ploc bags and were placed in contact with the cockroaches on subsequent dates to determine the presence of the aids in the product. The following results were observed when 7 They used wood splinters. Wood chips were removed and tested after storage at room temperature for a period of 16 months and the following was observed. It was found that 6 out of 6 cockroaches were added around the c-irradiated ferornone-containing wood chips within a period of 24 hours. The wood chips were removed and tested after storage at room temperature for a period of 28 months and the following was observed. It was discovered that cockroaches were added around the wood chips containing ferromed corked within a period of 24 hours. The following results were observed when cardboard pieces containing aggregation pheromones were used. Carton pieces were removed and tested after storage for a period of 6 months at room temperature and the following observations were made. It was found that 5 out of 5 cucar-achas were added around * the cardboard pieces containing c-irradiated pheromones in a period of 24 hours.
EXAMPLE 4: EFFECT OF ADDING AGGREGATE PHEROMONES TO ADHESIVE TRAPS IN THE COCKROACH CAPTURE Wood chips were also tested, including pheromones, -the aggregation of German cockroaches, prepared as described in Example 1 above, in the field to evaluate the effectiveness of pheromones. Four adhesive traps were placed, with or without a chip that contains pheromones of aggregation, in similar locations in places known to be infected with cockroaches. All the traps were checked after 1 week, and the observed results are shown in table 2 below.
TABLE 2: EFFECT ON THE CAPTURE OF COCKROACHES OF THE ADDITION OF AGGREGATE PHEROMONES TO ADHESIVE TRAPS (FIELD TEST) Test Adhesive Trap Adhesive Trap No. with pheromones (Control) 7 5 8 0 Cockroaches 60 15 to shaved It was discovered that "adhesive traps" that contain a splinter with pheromones capture an average of 15 cockroaches while less than 4 cockroaches were captured by the controls. These results show once again that adhesive traps containing aggregation pheromones are much more effective at attracting cockroaches than regular sticky traps alone.
EXAMPLE 5: EFFECT ON THE CATCH OF COCKROACHES OF THE ADDITION OF PHEROMONES OF AGGREGATION TO A BAIT OF NEMATODO The effect on Cockroach capture to add the pheromone product of the invention to a nematode bait formulation was tested in the following manner. Groups of 0 German cockroaches were exposed during 7"lees, in separate tanks to nematode baits alone (contr-ol), and to baits of nematodes containing a spider" le fer-ornonas "prepared as described in example 1, and placed next to the nematode bait stations. Formulations containing nematode bait were prepared according to Chang and Gehret (U.S. Patent 5,238,681). The results obtained are shown in table 3 below. 3L TABLE 3: IMPROVEMENT OF THE CATCH CAPACITY OF NEMATQDO WITH THE ADDITION OF AGGREGATION PHEROMONES Time (Day) Bait of nernat odo Tot to cockroaches mue rt as Control 0/8 0/8 2/8 4/8 4/8 With Fernonas 0/8 2/8 5/8 7/8 8/8 The addition of wood chips containing aggregation ferromants to nematode bait formulations was found to also increase the susceptibility of cockroaches to insect nematode bait. It was discovered that the nernatodo (control) bait stations kill only 50% of the cockroaches placed in the large tanks after a period of 7 days. The addition of aggregation pheromones to the nematode bait stations significantly increased the effectiveness of the nematode bait stations, resulting in a 100% kill in cockroaches in 7 days.
During the lisection, it was discovered that dead roaches with a bait station containing aggregation pheromones contained at least 10 times more nomatodes than those killed by nematode stations with pheromones. Due to the presence of the aggregation fer- nonas, it was discovered that the cockroaches congregated around the bait stations allowing a greater number of nematodes to infect the cockroaches.
EXAMPLE 6: EFFECT ON THE CATCH OF COCKROACHES OF THE ADDITION OF WOODEN CHIPS CONTAINING FEROMQNAS TO BORIC ACID TRAPS Wood chips containing aggregation ferromon were also placed within the boric acid traps, and were found to increase the effectiveness of the boric acid bait stations for trapping cockroaches. Bait stations "boric acid (control) were built as follows. Commercially available boric acid paste of 0.1 g (It Uorks) was placed in plastic bait stations. In the control traps, only food and water were added for the cockroaches. In the experimental traps, in addition to the boric acid, a wood chip containing aggregation pheromones was adhered to the interior of the bait station, directly over the boric acid paste. Each bait station was placed after a container of 22.86 x 30.48 cm along with food and water. r, or placed after 5 German cockroaches inside each container, all the containers placed in the dark, and the activity of the cockroaches was controlled for 8 days. The results obtained are shown in table 4 below.

This rapid death rate is attributed to the ability of wood chips to contain ferromones to cause aggregation of the cockroach around the stations with boric acid bait. The boric acid bait stations without aggregation pheromones were found to take 8 days to kill all the cockroaches.
EXAMPLE 7: PREPARATION OF EXTRACT OF AGGREGATE PHEROMONES The capacity of several solvents to extract * pheromones of aggregation of solid substrates was examined, the extracts were obtained by cutting into small pieces of approximately 0.5 x 3 c, approximately 100 g of cardboard impregnated with pheromones, and placing the pieces in glass jars that they contain 500 rnl of a solvent, such as water or an organic solvent. The extractions were allowed to proceed for 4 weeks at room temperature. Solvents such as water, ethanol, propane, isopropane, butane, di chloro-methane, chloroform, acetone, pentane, hexane and eti] acetate were used, among others. The attraction activity / cap ura of the cockroach of the extracts was determined by staining 50% of the extract in the 3 rll pieces of filter paper (Uhat an), and drying at room temperature. Each dry filter paper was placed in a 22.86 x 30.48 cm container with 6 adult cockroaches. Sources of water and food (laboratory food) were provided in the opposite corner of each container, and containers were placed in the dark. The attraction of the cucar-achas to the filter paper was controlled 1 hour after its introduction, and every 24 hours after it. FL box 5 below shows the results "- * of a representative experiment.

The use of ethanol and isopropanol is preferred because these solvents not only possess excellent extraction layer but also provide antiseptic and sterilizing properties. The aggregation activity of ferronones can also be extracted with water or aqueous solvents. However, the aqueous extracts can be sterilized before storage to avoid contamination with microorganisms. Extracts of hexane and ethyl acetate showed initial activity, but the increase in extracted activity gradually decreased after the second day, indicating that these organic solvents may have extracted only hydrophobic and unmodified molecules that had somewhat less activity.
EXAMPLE 8 SEPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ETHANOL EXTRACT Fernadones consist of two primary types, 1e components. The first group is composed of volatile substances that attract cockroaches (attractants) while the other group is composed of non-volatile substances that have a capturing activity (cap urants). The two pheromonal types of components were separated by subjecting the ethanol extracts to ion exchange chromatography with the Dowex 50 and Dowex 1 resins. The attractant activity in the ethanol extract strongly adhered to the Dowex 50 column, indicating < Which is alkaline in nature. The capturing activity, on the other hand, adhered to the Dowex 1 column, indicating that it is acidic in nature. When the analyzed samples were combined with the Dowex resins, the cockroaches were attracted very quickly and captured (added) by the combined sample indicating that the presence of both components is the cause of the superior activity of the pheromone. It was also found that certain capturing and attractant activities were present after passing the extracts through a Dowex 1 ream followed by a Dowex 50 resin. This suggests that some neutral compounds have pheromone activity. In order to separate and characterize the activities of the two types of pheromone components (attractants and trapping agents) present in the ethanol extract, the following method was used. Two rectangles were cut each of 1.27 c x 2.54 c, at the opposite ends of the top of Styrofoam cups 8.89 cm high, 7.62 cm in diameter. When the cups were inverted and placed in a container, the two cuttings served the cockroaches as points in and out. The two cups of Styrofoam were placed upside down on opposite sides of a container of 22.86 cx .48 crn, the extract of the sterile pheromones was transferred by pipette to a filter paper or 1.27 cm x 3 plastic strip. 81 cm and dried at room temperature. A comparison pattern was prepared by pipetting the same volume of ethanol onto a filter paper or plastic strip and drying at room temperature. Water and food sources (laboratory supplies) were placed in the center of the container and then 5 adult cockroaches were introduced into the container. The co-positive or positive attractant activity was rated when the cockroaches were attracted to the cup containing the extract and remained inside the cup. The capturing activity was rated as positive when the cockroaches were physically captured on the top * of the extracts instead of merely inside the cup. When analyzing the capturing activity alone, it requires a slightly longer time for the cockroaches to locate the attractant due to the absence of attractant. The nature of the attractant and the attractant activities were also confirmed by elect roforresis in paper "Je high voltage of the extract in the regulator * of pH of sodium borate at 0.05 rn, pH of 9.0. The roferous elect was cut at 1.27 cm x 3.81 cm and examined for attractant and trapping activities as described above. The attractant activity was moderately alkaline, that is, it moved to the cathode, while the capturing activity moved slightly to the node, indicating that it is slightly acidic. It was also shown that the fraction at the origin (neutral fraction) has some attractive and capturing activity.
EXAMPLE 9 STABILITY OF THE EXTRACTS OF ETHANOL OF THE FEROMQNAS OF AGGREGATION The stability is also jeopardized after the storage of the aggregation pheromone extracts. Cardboard pieces impregnated with 100 grams of ferornone obtained either from a box or a cockroach colony were cut into small pieces and placed in a glass jar, 500 ml of ethanol was added, the jar was closed and the extraction was carried out at room temperature while stirring several times a week. The attentive / eapturant activity of the extract cockroaches was examined according to the procedure of Example 8 above * for one month by pipetting 25 ul of the extr-act onto a black plastic of 1.27 cx ..81 crn similar to the material used in bait stations for cockroaches as initially available .. Each of the dry pieces of plastic was placed inside a cup and the two cups were placed in a container of 22.86 cm x 30.48 crn provided with 5 adult cockroaches. Water and food sources (laboratory supplies) were also provided. After two months of extraction at room temperature, all the cockroaches (5 of the 5) had been added to the upper part of the plastic strip or had remained close to it, inside the cup, in the course of 30 minutes. There were no cockroaches near the plastic strip of comparison pattern containing only ethanol. Extracts of this original glass jar were also removed at intervals of 2 months up to 18 months and final LZO attractant-capturing activity as described above. In all the tests, including that of the 18-month sample, all 5 cockroaches were attracted to the inverted cup with the fer-omonas extract and either added onto the plastic strip or remained close to it, inside the cup , in the course of 30 minutes. The extract of the cockroaches in this way proved to be stable for at least 18 months at room temperature when stored in the original container. 50 rnl of ethanol were also removed from the original glass jar after two months of extraction and placed in a different container or jar. The stability and activity of the previous extract of two months were also monitored at different time intervals up to 12 months by pipetting the extract onto the plastic strips as indicated above. In all the samples, including the 12-month samples, all the cockroaches were attracted to the inverted cup, which contained the extract and either added on top of, or remained close to, the inside of the cup in the course of 30 minutes. The plastic strips of comparison pattern with 25 μl of ethanol did not attract any cockroach. These results indicate that pheromone-impregnated cartons are extracted in ethanol for 2 months, the extract obtained contains pheromones of aggregation. In addition, the pheromone extract proved to be stable for at least 1 year when stored in a closed container at room temperature.
EXAMPLE 10 STABILITY OF PROLONGED TIME OF THE ETHANOL EXTRACT OF THE AGGREGATION PHEROMONES PLACED ON THE SOLID SUPPORT The stability of the aggregation pheromones was examined by applying the ethanol extract on several solid soporifes. 50 μl of ethane extract was applied to the pieces of paper "Je filter, carton, commercial adhesive board (Uoodstrearn Corp.), slats of various colors, such as white, yellow, blue and black, and plastic of various colors , such as white, yellow and black. After staining * the 50 ml extract on support materials, each was placed in a ZipLoc bag, sealed and stored at ambient temperature. At various time intervals, such as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 months pieces were taken out and analyzed for the attentive / capturing activity of the scoops co or described in Example 8 above. The activity of the extracts was analyzed using two inverted cups with two openings in each cup. The extracts stained on filter paper, the pieces of cardboard, the adhesive cartons and the slats had activity, but they lost it in less than approximately 2 months. Surprisingly, the stained extract on the plastic supports, for example black plastics, used in commercial bait stations was found to retain their activity for more than 6 months. In the 6-month sample, all 5 cockroaches were attracted to the inverted cup and either added on top of or remained near the plastic strip containing the pheromone extract, inside the cup, in the course of 2 hours. This discovery allows the manufacture, for the first time, of insecticidal traps that contain pheromones, alone or with other insecticides or adhesive substances. This discovery also improves the effectiveness of commercial bait stations containing boric acid, baits for nematodes and other toxins, also applying a pheromone extract for example on the lower side < He's the top cover of a bait station.
EXAMPLE 11 IMPROVEMENT OF COCKROACH ANNIHILATION THROUGH THE ADDITION OF EXTRACT OF ETHANOL PHEROMONES TO BAIT STATIONS CONTAINING BORIC ACID PASTE The increased efficacy of the ferronone extract was demonstrated, when placed in the bait stations containing boric acid paste, under competitive conditions as if it were. Containers of 22.86 cm by 30.48 cm of water (wet paper towel) were provided and food sources (laboratory supplies) were placed in the center of the reactor and two bait stations were placed on opposite sides of the container. Three tests were carried out. In the T experiment, a trap without bait and one with boric acid (Tt Works (R)) were used. In the TT experiment, 2 stations were also used, one with boric acid (It wOrks < R >) and the second with ethanol pheromone extract. The TT1 experiment was conducted by 2 stations as well, with the first station not containing bait, and the second containing boric acid plus ethanol fer- norone extract. The results of these tests are shown in Table 6 below.
TABLE 6 IMPROVEMENT OF COCKROACH ATRAPPING THROUGH THE ADDITION OF AGGREGATE PHEROMONES TO THE BORIC ACID BAIT Time, of the Sample Torna 20 minutes 18 hours Material inside Number of Cockroaches Number Experiment At raí das I N Niinngguunnoo 0 0 5 TT Aculo bóri co 0 Ex-racto de 4 fe romo na III None Boric acid plus feronone extracts of EtOH * * 5 cockroaches per experiment only the cockroaches within the stations were almost ficada When the ethanol feronone extract was applied to the underside of the upper cover of a bait station which is used as a comparison standard in Experiment II, 4 cockroaches entered the bait station containing the extract in the course of 20 days. minutes All 5 cockroaches were inside "He's this bait station after an hour and they stayed there for the rest of the time some went to the test. This shows that the pheromone extract is an effective attractant of cockroaches. When the extract was applied to the ethanol fernone on the lower side of the upper cover of the bait station directly on the paste, the boric acid in the Til Experiment, three of five cockroaches were tapidated (in the course of 20 minutes) to this station and remained there. After 18 hours, the five cockroaches were found in the rich acid plus the pheromone-containing station and none in the station that is used as a comp ronment. The ethanol pheromone extr-act, in this way, proved effective in attracting cockroaches to a bait station by * itself and with boric acid paste. In addition, the 5 cockroaches were dead around "I read day 4 in the pheromone extract at the stations" Boric acid, while experiments I and TI, all five cockroaches, were still alive on day 4. It was a Similar improvement with the ferrous extract of the ethanol of the effectiveness of the bait stations containing formulations for nernatodes instead of boric acid paste.
EXAMPLE 12 IMPROVING THE EFFICACY OF COCKROACH ATRAPPING THROUGH THE ADDITION OF ETANQL EXTRACT FROM PHEROMONES TO THE ADHESIVE TRAP Effectively, the cockroach entrapment was analyzed by adding the ethanol extracts of this invention to the adhesive traps using the same procedure described in Example 11 above. Aliquots of the aggregation pheromone extract were applied to a ribbon, which was adhered with tape on one side of the adhesive trap (Uloodstream Corp.). As in the case of the wood chips containing aggregation pheromone in Table L above, the traps containing ethanol extracts attracted more than 3 times more cockroaches than the adhesive traps. This indicates that the active components of the composition of faith as of aggregation have been extracted and the extract contains most, if not all, of the activity of faith as a.
EXAMPLE 13 EFFECT OF SLIPPERY LIMITS ON THE PRODUCTION OF AGGREGATION PHEROMONES The nesting of cockroaches in a large confined environment was shown in Example 1 above which produced and accumulated aggregation pheromones produced by cucar-achas. In this test, a new element was added during the manufacture of the aggregation pheromones "Je las cucar-achas. The sides of the containers were sprayed with a distilled petroleum mixture (UD-40) that continues to slip on the surfaces. The presence of this substance makes the walls so slippery that it avoids the escape of the cucar-achas. The in situ production of the natural aggregates in an environment that simulates the harboring of cockroaches was carried out in small containers made of cardboard, plastic, synthetic polymers, glass or metal. As an example, the interiors of the 5.08 cm by 6.99 cm plastic containers without covers, of different shapes, such as square, rectangular, round and cylindrical, were sprinkled with UD-40 on all sides to make them slippery. Any of the c-irradiated wood chips containing pheromones, or an ethanol extract thereof, together with food and water, were added, and the slippery traps were then placed in an area infested with cockroaches. Under the conditions of the experiment, cockroaches that were trapped were still free to move within the slippery container, which simulated a cucar-achas nest in this way. The initial trapping of ac, cockroaches was found to act as a catalyst to trap much more cockroaches. This resulted in the entrapment of more than 100 cockroaches, which were piled on top of each other, the captured cockroaches occupied considerable portions of small containers at the end of 3 weeks. Although the cockroaches were piled on top of each other, the r-esbalosos edges avoided their escape from the container and facilitated the fall of many cockroaches recently attracted to the trap. This surprising phenomenon, reflected in an exponential increase in cockroaches trapped during that time, is explained by the production of more cockroach pheromones by newly trapped cockroaches. The ferrononas, then, act as attractants to catch more cockroaches. In this way, a ramp with a "free environment" and with slippery parts provided in this case have superior characteristics for the effective control of cockroaches through "self-generation". New fermentation aggregates . Containers covered with other types of liquid slippery materials, such as corn oil, silicon, corn oil with methyl silicones and lecithin (Mazola NoStl * (R)) were added to fermented t-feronones. It was also found that these were highly effective at catching large quantities of cockroaches. Having now generally described variation, modality of the invention, it should be obvious that many modifications, substitutions and variations of the invention are possible in light of the above teachings.
