SEGMENTED INSECT CONTROL MAT

An insect control mat (10). The insect control mat has a mat body (12) with indentations that define break lines (16) such that a user of the mat body can readily separate the mat body (12) along the break lines (16) into subsections. Preferably, the subsections are substantially similar to each other, with the mat body being rectangular and the subsections also being rectangular with a width less than the width of the mat body. Each subsection is treated with one or more insect control ingredients in an amount sufficient to acheive the desired level of insect control when the subsection is used by itself in a conventional mat heater. Methods of controlling insects are also disclosed wherein the mat body is separed into subsections that then are used individually, either one at a time over succeeding use periods or simultaneously in multiple conventional mat heaters.

L'invention concerne une tablette anti-insecte. La tablette anti-insecte comprend un corps pourvu d'entailles définissant des lignes de rupture permettant à l'utilisateur de diviser facilement en sous-sections le corps de la tablette le long des lignes de rupture. Les sous-sections sont, de préférence, sensiblement semblables les unes aux autres, le corps de la tablette étant rectangulaire et les sous-sections étant également rectangulaires avec une largeur inférieure à la largeur du corps de la tablette. Chaque sous-section est traitée avec un ou plusieurs ingrédients anti-insecte en une quantité suffisante pour atteindre le niveau anti-insecte désiré lorsque la sous-section est utilisée individuellement dans un dispositif chauffant conventionnel.
