DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to attracting and ingestion-stimulating agents for cockroaches.
BACKGROUND ART
Cockroach is one of the sanitarily harmful insects most widely known throughout the world. As the house cockroach are known Periplaneta fuliginosa L., P. japonica K., P. americana L., Blattella germanica L., Blatta orientalis L., etc.
In general, it is important for extermination of cockroach to possess both an attracting activity and an ingestion-stimulating activity. We have already provided several cockroach attracting and ingestion-stimulating agents which simultaneously possess the activities both [U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,627,981; 4,911,907].
Tetralol, naphthol and phenol compounds and Iris tectoramines alcohols, which are active ingredients of these cockroach attracting and ingestion-stimulating agents, are sufficiently active: without any additives. However, they are often active against male P. americana L. only and, when applied to colonies of other species of cockroach or colonies of female cockroach only, they sometimes produce lower effects.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
In order to cover the defects of the prior art attracting and ingestion-stimulating agents for cockroach and to provide more effective ones, we have investigated a variety of tetralin compounds, naphthalene compounds, benzene compounds and other heterocyclic compounds for their cockroach attracting and ingestion-stimulating activities. As a result of extensive studies on bicyclic nitrogen-containing compounds as set forth below in Test Example 1, we have found that specific tetralin compounds exhibit a high attracting and ingestion-stimulating action in adult P, americana L. and further that they have both an attracting and an ingestion-stimulating actions which are highly active against many species of cockroach, and that the activity does not go down even when male and female cockroaches live together.
This invention is directed to attracting and ingestion-stimulating agents for cockroach comprising as an active ingredient one or more compounds represented by the formula ##STR2## wherein R represents an amino group or an aminomethyl group.
The compounds represented by the formula I are known compounds disclosed, for example, in the literatures cited below. However, none of these compounds are known for their cockroach attracting and ingestion-stimulating activities: 128
Attracting and ingestion-stimulating agents for cockroach according to the invention can be prepared, for example, by dissolving an active compound in an appropriate solvent (for example, a hydrophilic organic solvent such as acetone, methanol, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol or N, N-dimethylformamide, or a lipophilic organic solvent such as benzene, chloroform, ether, methylene chloride or n-hexane), then impregnating an appropriate carrier (for example paper, cardboard, non-woven cloth, cotton cloth or flannel) with the solution and drying off the solvent to provide attracting tapes or the like. The active compounds according to the invention can also be formulated into a form such as granules, pills or tablets by a conventional method (e.g., methods in Japanese Pharmacopoeia, Revised Ed. XII) with the aid of usual binders, excipients, lubricants, stabilizers and others. These cockroach attracting and ingestion-stimulating agents can be used for exterminating cockroach, for example, by mounting the agent on a reciptacle-shaped cockroach trap at a center of its tackiness plate.
Alternatively, attracting and ingestion-stimulating agents for the cockroach of the invention may be prepared in such a form as attracting tackiness plate, or attracting and insecticidial sheet, plate or tape by blending an active compound according to the invention in a tackifier or a resin, or incorporating it together with an insecticidal component into a tackifier or a resin. They may also be formulated together with an insecticidal component and conventional emulsifier, dispersant, penetrating agent, suspending agent, wetting agent
