DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention involves an insecticidal and pesticidal complex. It also involves a method for destroying insects and/or ectoparasites that proliferate in various spaces such as dwelling-places or the like, furniture, vehicles of all kinds, etc.
2. Discussion of Background
It is known, for example, that even in a perfectly maintained house, the dust found therein contains a large number of microscopic parasites such as dust mites, which are a main cause of respiratory and ocular allergies. These ectoparasites develop and are plentiful in beddings, mattresses, upholstery fabrics, carpets, closets, sofa cushions, curtains, as well as cracks in the ground and baseboards.
These mites, dead or alive, as well as their dejecta, i.e., freely constitute sensitizing allergens for respiratory systems. Thus, they cause a very large number of respiratory allergic ailments (asthma, rhinitis, spasmodic cough, in children and adults), as well as allergic conjunctivitis.
Furthermore, other types of ectoparasites and insects (fleas, ticks, lice, spiders, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc.) can be found, at various stages of reproduction or development (larvae, eggs, adults), in rugs, carpets, cracks in the floor, upholstery fabric fibers, etc., and likewise constitute causes for numerous allergic ailments and allergic conditions (dermatological allergies due to the inoculation of saliva through a flea bite, piroplasmosis caused by the ticks, paludism i.e., malaria, transmitted by the female anopheles mosquito, etc.).
The destruction of these insects and parasites in a residence is an important housekeeping task involving both and killing these insects and parasites, and to preventing their reproduction and propagation in the residence.
To this end, one is led to use a plurality of products at the same time, each product being specific to certain types of insects and parasites (crawling, flying, etc.). Based on their end-use, these products are packaged in the form of patches, platelets, powders, etc., to be placed in the areas of the residence assumed to be the most exposed and the most appropriate, or in the form of products to be spread throughout in the various rooms. The most commonly used method, to cover the largest area with pesticides and insecticides, consists of spreading these products (commercially available in the form of sprays) directly in the rooms to be protected or cleansed.
However, this "sanitation" method involves at least the following disadvantages: room, such that protection is ensured only in the areas where the product has settled; must be used with caution (contact with mucous membranes and must be avoided, etc.); category of insects or parasites, and it is necessary to use various aerosols at the same time to obtain the destruction of all the insects and parasites; parasites without suppressing the allergenic effect, still present and active, generated by their dead bodies.
Furthermore, the use of the various known products and methods for destroying insects and parasites does not suppress the daily obligation of cleaning the floors and of using a vacuum cleaner to remove dusts, stains, even ectoparasites and insects, that are found in the carpets, rugs, upholstery fabrics, or in inaccessible recesses of residences (cornices, baseboards) or of furniture (drawers, furniture bases).
It is well known that when using a vacuum cleaner, the air discharged can contain parasites which the porosity of the dust bag cannot stop, thus enabling them to spread once again. Furthermore, the dust bag of the vacuum cleaner is replaced only when it is full, i.e., about every two or three weeks and, meanwhile, the vacuum cleaner is stored in an area of the residence (cupboard, closet) where it constitutes a starting point for the reinfestation of the residence, in particular, by the mites that will proliferate in ideal conditions (dust and temperature) from said dust bag, and will then migrate outside toward new areas (clothing, fabrics, carpets).
