In accordance with the present invention, it has now been found that a new insecticidal composition significantly improves knockdown and mortality rates to general household pests. Specifically, an insecticidal composition containing a mixture of bifenthrin and acetamiprid , results in a continuous chemical barrier that provides both high knockdown and mortality rates to general household pests. Other aspects of the present invention will also be apparent.
The Asian stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), also commonly known as the brown marmorated stink bug, is an insect pest that can be a significant problem in back yards and gardens. Originally from Asia as its name suggests, the Asian stink bug can damage and kill plants and may destroy fruit crops. It can also produce a horrible odor when disturbed or crushed. To protect your vegetables, flowers and shrubs, get rid of this pest if it's infesting your property.
It has now been unexpectedly found that an insecticidal composition containing bifenthrin and acetamiprid, results in high knockdown and mortality rates when applied to general household pests. A preferred liquid insecticide composition of the present invention is comprised of from 0.001% by weight to 0.12% by weight of bifenthrin and from 0.001% by weight to 0.20% by weight of acetamiprids .
Another embodiment of the present invention is a method for controlling general household pests comprising applying an insecticidally effective amount of a composition comprised of bifenthrin and acetamiprid to a locus where general household pest control is needed or expected to be needed. Preferred general household pests are selected from German cockroach, American cockroach, Smokey-Brown cockroach, Oriental cockroach, house fly, biting fly, filth fly, red imported fire ant (RIFA), odorous house ant, carpenter ant, pharaoh ant, Argentine ant, mosquito, tick, flea, sowbug, pillbug, centipede, spider, silverfish, scorpion and bed bug. Preferred locus or loci are selected from a general household pest-infested structure, a structure that is expected to be general household pest-infested, or a location adjacent to the structures.
Remove the stink bugs manually from your garden plants, shrubs and flowers. This technique is best for limited Asian stink bug infestations. Fill a bucket with soapy water. Place the bucket under your plants, and shake the plants to knock the bugs off and into the water.
Repel the stink bugs by making your plants taste undesirable to them. Mix a solution of equal parts water and liquid dish soap. Spritz the solution onto your plants.
The amount of each insecticide in the composition can be varied over a wide range depending upon the target pest and the level of control desired. For controlling German cockroaches, a preferred liquid insecticide composition of the present invention is comprised of 0.001% by weight to 0.06% by weight of bifenthrin and 0.005% by weight to 0.10% by weight of acetamiprid manufacturer . For controlling Red Imported Fire Ants, a preferred liquid insecticide composition of the present invention is comprised of 0.0575% by weight to 0.0625% by weight of bifenthrin and 0.025% by weight to 0.05% by weight of acetamiprid. For controlling house flies, a preferred liquid insecticide composition of the present invention is comprised of 0.001% by weight to 0.005% by weight of bifenthrin and 0.01% by weight to 0.02% by weight of acetamiprid. For controlling bed bugs, a preferred liquid insecticide composition of the present invention is comprised of 0.0575% by weight to 0.0625% by weight of bifenthrin and 0.025% by weight to 0.05% by weight of acetamiprid.
Treat your landscape with an insecticide to kill the stink bugs. This option is ideal for widespread outdoor stinkbug infestations and will quickly reduce their population. A standard insecticide formulated with acetamiprid can be used on vegetables, while a bifenthrin or cyfluthrin insecticide can be used on ornamental trees or shrubs. Apply the insecticide carefully, according to the manufacturer's instructions, as spray solutions vary in toxicity.

Prevent the stink bugs from entering your home. This is a common problem during the fall season when the stink bugs begin searching for shelter from the cold. Inspect your home's exterior for potential access points, like vents, windows and door frames. Cover access points with screens, or seal them shut with caulk.
Kill stink bugs that may have entered your home or begun congregating on your home's exterior walls. Inside, use a standard household insecticide, such as those made by Raid. Outside, use a pesticide spray designed for application on household structures, such as sprays formulated with deltamethrin or a-cyhalothrin.
