Abstract
The present invention relates to novel insecticidal aqueous-based microemulsion compositions and methods for controlling insects with said aqueous-based microemulsions. The microemulsions of the present invention contain a synthetic pyrethroid or organophosphate insecticide, a certain surfactant blend, microemulsion adjuvants such as antifoamers, antifreezing agents, thickeners and preservatives and provide thermodynamically, stable compositions uniquely suited for ultra-low volume (ULV) applications in combatting insect pests.
