An insecticide preparation in the form of a dispersion comprising a water phase and an active ingredient phase which are normally separate, with distinct delineation between the same, said phases being capable of transitory intermixture upon agitation, there being a dispersal agent consisting of cocodiethanolamide in an amount within the range of 0.1 to 10% by weight of the preparation, said cocodiehanolamide being an amber liquid having a congealing point of approximately 6 degrees C., a specific gravity at 25 degrees C. of about 0.99, containing a maximum of about 3-4 percent free or unreacted fatty acid (as lauric acid) and having a pH value of 8-9 as a one percent dispersion in water, being soluble in alcohols, glycols, ketones, esters, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated solvents, and also being dispersible in water at low cconcentration of 1% to 2%, said active ingredient phase comprising an insecticidal agent selected from the class consisting of pyrethroids, carbamates, organo-phosphates, and combinations thereof in a quantity sufficient to exterminate the particular preselected prey, said dispersion having a pH within the range of approximately 6.5 to 7.5.
