Abstract:
A carrier comprising a preparation-retaining material for controlling an insect pest,wherein when the preparation-retaining material comprises a preparation containing at least one pesticidal component having a vapor pressure of 1Ã—10âˆ’7 to 1.5Ã—10âˆ’3 mmHg at 30Â° C. which is hardly vaporized at normal temperature and has a ventilation structure, and wherein when said carrier is set at one or more locations within an air passageway of an insect pest control apparatus, which comprises a main body having a ventilation means leading to a vent hole, and is contacted with an air current raised at the vent hole under non-heating conditions, the preparation-retaining material does not block an air current which has an air permeability of 0.1 liter/sec or more, as a ventilation in the air passageway and the air current passes into and through the carrier.
