The texture of the insecticidal residue provides better transfer of the insecticidal active ingredients to insects that land on or crawl on the surface, resulting in faster insect mortality. The textured residue also enhances desirable surface characteristics for landing of mosquitoes and potentially other insects. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An insecticidal composition consisting of: a texturizing agent; an insecticide active ingredient; a polymer, wherein the polymer is poly(isobutyl methacrylate); and a solvent, wherein the total amount of the insecticide active ingredient and polymer is from 1.005 weight percent to 8.1 weight percent of the composition. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the texturizing agent comprises fumed silica. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the solvent comprises acetone. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the insecticide active ingredient comprises pyriproxyfen. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the insecticide active ingredient comprises permethrin. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the insecticide active ingredient comprises pyriproxyfen and permethrin. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the composition forms a texturized surface, and the texturized surface includes structures of less than 10 mm. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the texturizing agent comprises fumed silica and the solvent comprises acetone. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The insecticidal composition of claim 8, wherein the insecticide active ingredient comprises pyriproxyfen, permethrin, or a combination thereof. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the polymer is in the amount of 1 weight percent to 7 weight percent of the composition. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the polymer is in the amount of 1 weight percent to 7 weight percent of the composition and the insecticide active ingredient comprises pyriproxyfen in the amount of 0.005 weight percent to 0.10 weight percent of the composition. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The insecticidal composition of claim 11, wherein the texturizing agent comprises fumed silica and the solvent comprises acetone. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the polymer is in the amount of 1 weight percent to 7 weight percent of the composition and the insecticide active ingredient comprises pyriproxyfen in the amount of 0.005 weight percent to 0.10 weight percent of the composition and permethrin in the amount of 0.5 weight percent to 1.0 weight percent of the composition. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The insecticidal composition of claim 13, wherein the texturizing agent comprises fumed silica and the solvent comprises acetone. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the polymer is in the amount of 1 weight percent to 7 weight percent of the composition, the insecticide active ingredient comprises pyriproxyfen in the amount of 0.005 weight percent to 0.10 weight percent of the composition, the texturizing agent comprises fumed silica in the amount of 0.5 weight percent to 1.0 weight percent of the composition, and the solvent comprises acetone in the amount of 91.9 weight percent to 98.495 weight percent of the composition. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The insecticidal composition of claim 1, wherein the polymer is in the amount of 1 weight percent to 7 weight percent of the composition, the insecticide active ingredient comprises pyriproxyfen in the amount of 0.005 weight percent to 0.10 weight percent of the composition and permethrin in the amount of 0.5 weight percent to 1.0 weight percent of the composition, the texturizing agent comprises fumed silica in the amount of 0.5 weight percent to 3.0 weight percent of the composition, and the solvent comprises acetone in the amount of 88.9 weight percent to 97.095 weight percent of the composition.
