Abstract
Exemplary insecticidal compositions may comprise 0.25 weight % (wt %) to 3.50 wt % of a spinosyn-based active ingredient, 65 wt % to 85 wt % of a plaster, 7 wt % to 15 wt % of a polyethylene glycol, and 1 wt % to 15 wt % water. Exemplary insecticidal compositions may be in the form of granules. Exemplary insecticidal compositions may provide an extended release of the spinosyn-based active ingredient over a period of 30 days to 150 days.
