Abstract:

A process for mixing an insecticide formulation with an injector system that uses water to mix, dilute and dispense the insecticide. An injector system that includes a water dilutable formulation, a means of mixing or agitating the concentrated formulation, a water source, an injector for the purpose of diluting and mixing the formulation with water at pre-selected ratios, and a means for delivering the mixed and diluted formulation to application equipment used to reduce populations of insects, pests or other nuisance organisms of public health importance. A water dilutable formulation, an injector system and a process are combined in the present invention to provide an optional means of recirculating the insecticide concentrate in its container, drawing concentrate insecticide from the container and diluting and mixing it with water at selected concentrations which are calculated to meet the insecticide label application stipulations, and dispensing the correctly mixed solution directly into the application equipment (either aircraft, truck mounted or portable) selected for use. End-users then spray this mixture to mitigate infestations.
