Non-toxic pest control compositions and methods and uses thereof
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a population of invertebrate pests, the method comprising applying an effective amount of a pest control composition to the population of the invertebrate pests and/or one or more locations where control of the population of the invertebrate pests is desired, the composition comprising a treated, fermented yeast supernatant including bio-nutrients, minerals and amino acids, and about 1% to about 15% by weight of one or more nonionic surfactants,wherein application of the composition creates microbubbles that increase oxygen dispersion resulting in higher dissolved oxygen levels and accelerate molecular interactions that mediate cleavage of chemical bonds,wherein the treated, fermented yeast supernatant lacks any active enzymes, activatable pro-enzymes, or any enzymatic activity,wherein the composition lacks any active enzymes, activatable pro-enzymes, or any enzymatic activity, andwherein the composition has a pH below 5.0.
