DOUBLE-ACTING CONTAINER AND METHODS FOR COVERING INTERNAL SURFACES OF WATER-HOLDING CONTAINERS AND FOR PROVIDING LARVICIDE-COATED OBJECTS TO WATER-HOLDING CONTAINERS. Containers, systems and methods and new lethal double-action compositions and formulas that are used to kill mosquitoes and their larvae. Containers generally pyramidal in shape may have combined larvicidal and adulticidal linings above and below a side opening in the container. A removable sloped grid lid can also allow mosquitoes to enter the container. Slanted stacked walls inside the container form attractive surfaces for mosquitoes to reproduce. Water-holding containers, such as flower pots, water-holding dish used under plant pots, vases, bird baths, and wolf fountains and mouths, can be coated with the new larvicidal and / or adulticide coatings. Small objects can be coated with larvicide or a combination of larvicide and adulticide, which can be placed in water-holding containers that can leach the pesticide over time that prevents mosquitoes from breeding in water-holding containers. |
