Pesticide system

Abstract

A pesticide application method and device of the present disclosure produces a non-incendiary, organic-polymerization based pesticide smoke producing reaction. The smoke mainly comprises pesticide and reaction products of the initiator compound. A composition for the non-pyrotechnic generation of pesticide-containing smoke is provided that includes an initiator, and a pesticide agent. Some versions of the composition also include a monomer that polymerizes exothermically. A non-pyrotechnic method of generating pesticide-containing smoke is provided, which includes initiating a frontal reaction (FR) in a composition for the non-pyrotechnic generation of pesticide-containing smoke, and generating smoke comprising the pesticide agent. A method of applying a pesticide to an area is provided, involving initiating an FR to generate pesticide-containing smoke, and exposing the area to the smoke for a period of time sufficient to kill pests. A non-pyrotechnic smoke generator for generating a pesticide-containing smoke is provided, including the smoke-generating composition and an initiation source.
