Claims19
A method for controlling pests, which comprises applying to the location occupied by said pests a composition comprising a dispersion of solid particles of a salt, thioester, or complex of a thiocarbonate in a member selected from the group consisting of water resistant wax, oil, grease, and combinations thereof.
A method for controlling pests in soil, which comprises applying to said soil a dispersion of solid particles of a thiocarbonate selected from the group consisting of salts, thioesters, and complexes of thiocarbonates in a water resistant wax.
A method for controlling pests, which comprises applying to the location occupied by said pests, a composition comprising a dispersion of solid particles of a thiocarbonate selected from the group consisting of ammonium, alkali metal, and alkaline earth metal tri- and tetrathiocarbonates, and combinations thereof, in a member selected from the group consisting of water resistant wax, oil, grease, and combinations thereof.
