Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for killing arthropods. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method preferably includes providing a pesticide composition which includes from about 0.01 to about 0.8 percent, by weight, of a surfactant and from about 0.2 to about 15 percent, by weight, of a boron-containing component. The pesticide composition is applied to a absorbent material which is infested with arthropods, so that the pesticide composition is adsorbed by the absorbent material in an amount sufficient to kill arthropods. The arthropods contact the absorbent material and are killed by the adsorbed pesticide composition.

A method for treating a absorbent surface in order to kill insects, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an insecticide composition which includes from about 0.002 to about 2 percent, by weight, of a surfactant and from about 0.05 to about 5 percent, by weight, of a boron-containing component which is capable of acting as an insecticide;
- and
- applying the insecticide composition to the absorbent surface so that the insecticide composition is adsorbed by the absorbent surface in an amount sufficient to kill insects,
- wherein insects contact the absorbent surface and are killed by the adsorbed insecticide composition.
