A method, compositions and apparatus are disclosed for causing the death of pupating insects, especially fleas, at all stages of the life cycle. The invention includes by both direct and residual insecticidal extermination of juveniles, adults, larvae and eggs, and also provides an environment of elevated humidity, temperature and pressure around pupal cocoons to cause the cocoons open quickly, so that the emergent insects are killed by residual insecticide, thus providing complete termination of an insect infestation and prevention of development of new infestations from subsequent emergence of metamorphosed insects from surviving pupa. Extermination occurs from the simultaneous application of a “residual”adulticide, a “residual”larvacide, and high temperature hot water under pressure to the infested location. The adulticides and larvacides may be inorganics, botanicals, organochlorides, organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, growth inhibitors or chitin inhibitor compounds, and may be present with synergists, emulsifiers or surface active agents. Preferred materials are permethrin, methoprene and fenoxycarb. The apparatus used includes a hot water generator, a mixer to mix the hot water and insecticides, an applicator to force the hot water/insecticide mixture into the infested location, a conduit to deliver the hot water and insecticide mixture to the applicator, and pressure or a pump to maintain the flow of the hot water and insecticide mixture for the desired application period.

Apparatus for extermination of pupating insects, including adult and emergent insects, larvae and eggs, which comprises: a generator for providing hot water under pressure; a mixer for mixing an insecticide combination comprising at least one adulticide and at least one larvacide into said hot water
Apparatus for extermination of pupating insects, including adult and emergent insects, larvae and eggs, which comprises: a generator for providing hot water under pressure; a mixer for mixing an insecticide combination comprising at least one adulticide and at least one larvacide into said hot water, said insecticide combination maintaining insecticidal properties during application and for a residual period of time thereafter; an applicator for delivering said mixture of hot water and insecticide combination under pressure to an infestation location where said pupating insects, including pupal cocoons of said insects, are present; a conduit for delivering said mixture of hot water and insecticide combination under pressure to said applicator; and means for maintaining said delivery of said mixture of hot water and insecticide combination to said applicator and from applicator to said location for a period of time sufficient to deliver a quantity of said adulticide and said larvacide sufficient to kill those of said insects, eggs and larvae with which it comes in contact, both during said application and during said residual period of time; and create an environment around said cocoons of elevated ambient temperature, pressure and humidity, whereby pupation within said cocoons is induced to terminate, said cocoons are induced to open and metamorphosed insects are induced to emerge from said cocoons within a period of time less than said residual period of time, such that said emergent insects contact residual quantities of said adulticide and are killed.
