Abstract

Provided are bioactive compounds and metabolites derived from Chromobacterium species culture responsible for controlling pests, compositions containing these compounds, methods for obtaining these compounds and methods of using these compounds and compositions for controlling pests.

Claims

1. A method for inhibiting infestation of Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus in a location where inhibition is desired comprising

applying an effective amount of a fermented whole cell broth collected from Chromobacterium subtsugae sp. nov. (NRRL B-30655);

and at least one of a carrier, diluent or adjuvant, to inhibit said infestation at said location.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus is inhibited by increasing the mortality of said Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the mortality of Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus is increased and wherein there is a mortality of Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus of at least about 50% at said location.

4. The method according to claim 1, which further comprises applying another natural or artificial insecticidal substance.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said another natural or artificial insecticidal substance is applied at said location in rotation.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the infestation of Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus is inhibited by decreasing the rate of hatching of eggs.
