Patent ID: 7059081

Claim:
A method of preventing Asian lady beetles and habitually similar pests from gaining entrance to a building structure, the method comprising the steps of: 1) providing an article of manufacture for preventing Asian lady beetles and habitually similar pests from gaining entrance to a building structure, the article of manufacture further comprising: composition, the pesticide composition comprising an active ingredient and inactive ingredients, the active ingredient comprising Lambda-cyhalothrin, the fibrous felt fabric having outwardly extending fibers for entangling the legs of Asian lady beetles or habitually similar pests attempting to gain entrance to the building structure by maneuvering across the fibrous felt fabric to points of entry, the outwardly extending fibers thus directly depositing pesticide composition on Asian lady beetles or habitually similar pests for preventing Asian lady beetles or habitually similar pests from gaining entrance to the building structure, the fibrous felt fabric further comprising a felt width, a felt length, a superior felt surface, an inferior felt surface, and a felt thickness, the superior felt surface having light reflective coloration for attracting Asian lady beetles or habitually similar pests, the inferior felt surface for receiving evenly spaced adhesive strips, the felt thickness measuring about 1/16 inch for retaining an effective amount of the pesticide composition; and a plurality of evenly spaced adhesive strips for adhesively attaching the fibrous felt fabric to the building structure, the adhesive strips each further comprising a superior adhesive surface, an inferior adhesive surface, a strip length, and a strip thickness, the superior adhesive surfaces each having exposed adhesive for attachment to the inferior felt surface, the superior adhesive surfaces being adhesively attached to the inferior felt surface, the inferior adhesive surfaces each further comprising selectively removable adhesive covering means, the adhesive covering means for selectively exposing the inferior adhesive surfaces for adhesive attachment to the building structure, the strip thickness measuring about 1/32 inch for attaching the fibrous felt fabric in snug adjacency to the building structure; 2) adhesively attaching the fibrous felt fabric in snug adjacency to the building structure adjacent points of entry for physically contacting Asian lady beetles or habitually similar pests attempting to gain entrance to the building structure by maneuvering intermediate the fibrous felt fabric and the building structure, the snugly adjacent fibrous felt fabric thus directly depositing pesticide composition on Asian lady beetles or habitually similar pests attempting to gain entrance to the building structure, the snugly adjacent fibrous felt fabric thus further preventing Asian lady beetles and habitually similar pests from gaining entrance to the building structure.
