Abstract
A water-soluble, foamable, insecticidally-active composition is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for producing such a composition. The water-soluble, foamable, insecticidally-active composition comprises an aqueous phase, an insecticidally-active toxicant, and a foam-causing ingredient. The aqueous phase comprises water. The foam-causing ingredient must be capable of dispersing the insecticidally-active toxicant throughout the aqueous phase, to produce a toxicant-in-water dispersion. The foam-causing ingredient is present in an amount effective to enable the toxicant-in-water dispersion to form-in-place a water-soluble and insecticidally-active foam. The water-soluble aspect of the foam allows dissolving the foam (utilizing sufficient water) when desired.
