The present invention provides fibrous pest deterrents that combine the useful properties of a physical barrier in the form of a non-woven fibrous matrix with a chemical deterrent such as a pesticide, behavior-modifying compound or a pest repellent. The use of such fibrous pest deterrents protects plants, animals and structures in both agricultural and non-agricultural settings from damage inflicted by pests. Unlike traditional pesticides, the behavior-modifying compound, pesticide or chemical deterrent of the present invention is adsorbed or attached to a fibrous matrix, and so it is not so readily dispersed into the environment. Hence, use of the present fibrous pest deterrents can reduce the levels of pesticides that inadvertently contaminate non-target areas and pollute water supplies. The present fibrous pest deterrents therefore help moderate in the use of pesticides in commercial agricultural and non-agricultural operations, home gardens, and the urban environment, alleviating public concerns about pesticide run-off, contamination of the environment and risks to human health.
本发明提供的纤维害虫阻吓剂将无纺布纤维基质形式的物理屏障的有用特性与杀虫剂、行为调节化合物或害虫驱避剂等化学阻吓剂结合在一起。使用这种纤维害虫阻挡剂可以保护农业和非农业环境中的植物、动物和建筑物免受害虫的破坏。与传统的杀虫剂不同,本发明的行为修饰化合物、杀虫剂或化学驱虫剂被吸附或附着在纤维基质上,因此不会轻易散布到环境中。因此,使用本发明的纤维状害虫威慑剂可以减少无意中污染非目标区域和污染水源的杀虫剂含量。因此,本纤维状害虫阻滞剂有助于减少杀虫剂在商业性农业和非农业作业、家庭花园和城市环境中的使用,减轻公众对杀虫剂径流、环境污染和人类健康风险的担忧。
