Abstract:
A method of controlling eggs of harmful insects and representatives of the order Acarina, which comprises distributing to the areas to be protected, a composition comprising:at least one pesticidally active compound, one or more signal substances selected from the group consisting of pheromones, kairomones or attractants, a UV absorber or a UV absorber mixture and, if appropriate, one or more additives selected from the group consisting of viscosity-regulating thickeners, fillers or solvents, which comprises 40 to 98% by weight of the UV absorber or of the UV absorber mixture, 0.01 to 30% by weight of one or more signal substance(s), and 0.1 to 20% by weight of one or more pesticidally active compound(s) selected from the group consisting of the compounds of the formula in whicha is 0, 1 or 2, where, if a is 2, the two radicals R1 are identical or different, b is 0, 1 or 2, where, if b is 2, the two radicals R2 are identical or different; X is methylene, O, S or C(&boxH;O), R1 is C1-C3alkyl, halo-C1-C3alkyl, C1-C3alkoxy, halo-C1-C3alkoxy, fluorine, chlorine or bromine; R2 is halogen, nitro, C1-C6alkyl, phenyl-C1-C6alkyl, halo-C1-C4alkyl, C1-C3alkoxy, halo-C1-C3alkoxy, C2-C4alkenyl, C2-C4alkynyl, C1-C3alkoxyalkyl or C3-C6cycloalkyl, and A is C1-C6alkyl, C2-C6alkenyl or C3-C6alkynyl, which are unsubstituted or substituted by a substituent selected from the group consisting of C1-C6alkoxy, C2-C6alkenyloxy, C3-C6alkynyloxy, â€”Oâ€”N&boxH;CH2, â€”Oâ€”N&boxH;CHâ€”C1-C6alkyl, phenoxy, pyridyl, pyridyloxy, phenyl and phenyl, which is substituted by a substituent selected from the group consisting of C1-C6alkyl or â€”Oâ€”CH2â€”Oâ€”; or A is a radical (Ib) where R6 is C1-C6alkyl, phenyl-C1-C6alkyl, halo-C1-C4alkyl, C2-C4alkenyl, C2-C4alkynyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, phenoxy, phenyl-C1-C6alkoxy, halo-C1-C4alkoxy or C3-C6 cycloalkyl; R7 is hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, phenyl-C1-C6 alkyl, halo-C1-C4alkyl, C2-C4alkynyl, C1-C3alkoxyalkyl or C3-C6cycloalkyl; and Y is O or S; in free form or in salt form; said composition having a viscosity of between 10,000 and 30,000 op; and being distributed as 100 to 1500 microdrops per 1000m2 of the cultivated area to be protected; and wherein the males of said insects and representatives of the order Acarina are attracted by said composition and wherein the composition taken up by the males is transferred to the females thus connecting said eggs.
