New Zealand Paient Spedficaiion for Paient Number £0816£ 208162 Priority Date(s): l^T.
Complete Specification Filed: J5~. 5 Class: Publication Date: ... ^ J986 P.O. Journal. No: J3$k NEW ZEALAND PATENTS ACT, 1953 No.: Date: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION "ROACH BAIT COMPOSITION" fywe. S.C. JOHNSON & SON, INC., a corporation of Wisconsin, U.S.A,, of 1525 Howe Street, Racine, Wisconsin 53043, U.S.A., hereby declare the invention for which ? / we pray that a patent may be granted to &fe/us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- (followed by page la) 208162 -■la.- ' This invention relates to a roach bait composition. More particularly, this invention relates to a simple and economical roach bait composition having high effectiveness.
Roach bait compositions typically include an attractant material and a toxicant. Often these materials are formed together in a substrate to so that the toxicant does not crumble .thereby presenting a health hazard. Most prior roach bait compositions 10 kill roaches by essentially poisoning them after they consume a portion of the bait containing the toxicant.
The compositions of the present invention on the other hand, offer a dual activity by utilizing a non-repellent contact insecticide in combination with a bait and a suitable substrate impregnated with the toxicant and bait material. Roaches and other crawling insects are killed using two modes of action; namely, contact activity wherein the toxicant is absorbed by 20 the insect's body and internal activity should the insect feed upon the insecticide containing bait. This dual function concept has greater kill potential than a bait which relies solely upon the insects feeding upon the bait for its activity or solely upon 25 contact activity.
It has there been surprisingly found that an improved roach bait composition can be formed comprising a cellulosic substrate impregnated with from .5 to 10% by weight of a composition comprising from 30 o.l to 5% by weight 2-isopropoxy phenyl N-methylcar- 2081 bonate, from 20 to 70% by weight of an attractant selected from the group consisting of sucrose, maltose and mixtures thereof and from 10 to 80% by weight of a solvent selected from water and mixtures of water 5 with other non-repellent solvents.
The invention will now be described in greater detail. The toxicant utilized in the composition of the present invention is 2-isopropoxyphenyl N-methylcarbonate also known as propoxur and sold 10 under the trade name Baygon. This material is a very active insecticide which kills primarily by residual activity. However, Baygon also has superior toxicity should it be ingested by an insect. Baygon also has disadvantages in that it has some repellency 15 to some insects but insects can be lured to a surface treated with Baygon using an appropriate bait material.
The compositions of the present invention also may include an effective amount of a sugar bait. 20 Suitable sugars include the monosaccharides, disac-charides and polysaccharides such as corn syrup, which is a mixture of D-glucose, maltose and malto-dextrins, fructose, glucose, maltose, sucrose, lactose, and molasses, as well as mixtures thereof. 25 The preferred sugar is corn syrup. It has generally been found that the substrate should be impregnated with sufficient bait material so that insects will be attracted to the bait.
The baits of the present invention also ut-30 ilize an absorbant substrate. Typically, any absor-bant cellulosic substrate can be utilized so long as the substrate itself is not repellent to insects or roaches. Suitable substrates include fiber board, filter paper, cloth fiber. Although size is not im-35 portant for conveniences found, it is preferred the 2081 substrates utilized have a surface of less than 70 sq. centimeters.
In order to carry the toxicant and bait to the substrate, these materials are conveniently mixed 5 with a solvent. Typically this solvent can be water or mixtures of water and other non-repellent solvents such as acetone. Other solvents, however, can be used so long as there is no residue contained within the product which is repellent to insects. 10 The absorbant substrate is impregnated with from 0.5 to 10% by weight and preferably from 1 to 5% by weight of the above mixture of propoxur, sugar and solvent. This mixture includes from 0.1 to 5% and preferably from 0.2 5 to 3% by weight 2-isopropo-15 poxyphenyl N-methycarbonate. At amounts below 0.1% activity is diminished while above 5% repellency becomes a factor.
The mixture also includes from 20 to 70% and preferably 30 to 60% by weight of sugar attract-. 20 ant. At amounts less than 20% there is insufficient attractant material to lure insects. At amounts of over 70% stability and manufacturing ease are comprised.
To carry the toxicant and bait to the sub-25 strate, a volatile solvent is used. The preferred solvent is a mixture of water and acetone although any non-repellent solvent can be used. The solvent should be present in an amount of from 10 to 80% and preferably 25 to 65% by weight. 30 The composition to the present invention will now be illustrated by way of the following examples which are for the purpose of illustration only and are in no way to be considered as limiting. 2 0816 2 Examples 1-5 The five formulations set forth in Table 1 were prepared by mixing the ingredients together.

The baits were then tested by exposing 25 15 German cockroaches each to a specific bait. The percentage of kill versus time is shown in Table 2.
