Methods to create and maintain pre-designed geometrically shaped volumes of an effective dynamic mixture of volatile compounds encompassing an object of protection for very long times, up to one or more years, for control of pests and pest-borne diseases in open outdoor environments of importance to humans, animals and plants. The methods include using a plurality of passive flow control nozzles containing mass-regulating barriers with retaining fixtures, strategically positioned and uniquely oriented, connected to volatile compound-storing structures with replenishing connectors, for delivering controlled release of volatile compounds using individual passive flow control nozzles that dispense volatile compounds at continuous, predetermined, substantially constant and sustainable release rates over extended periods of time, appurtenances to protect the mass-regulating barriers while in operation, and sensors to monitor the biologically active threshold and the concentrations of volatile compound within the pre-designed geometrically shaped volumes of volatile compounds.

1. A method for multiple specific applications to create and maintain pre-designed geometrically shaped volumes of an effective dynamic mixture of volatile compounds in a vapor state for very long times, up to one or more years, to control harmful pests impacting beneficial plants, domestic animals
1. A method for multiple specific applications to create and maintain pre-designed geometrically shaped volumes of an effective dynamic mixture of volatile compounds in a vapor state for very long times, up to one or more years, to control harmful pests impacting beneficial plants, domestic animals and humans, an object of protection, in open outdoor environments, the method comprising the steps of: analyzing requirements of a selected specific application of the multiple specific applications, the requirements including pest species, site environment, site topography and the object of protection;designing a vapor delivery system to accomplish a desired protection for the selected specific application;selecting system components and applicable volatile compounds to accomplish the desired protection for the selected specific application;fabricating passive flow control nozzles capable of delivering specified release rates of the volatile compounds in the vapor state for the selected specific application;assembling volatile compound-storing structures with replenishing connectors attached to the passive flow control nozzles, the volatile compound-storing structures configured for containing a volatile compound in a liquid state therein;positioning a plurality of the passive flow control nozzles with the specified release rates in predetermined strategic locations and unique orientations to create and maintain the pre-designed geometrically shaped volumes of volatile compounds encompassing the object of protection;constructing on site the vapor delivery system as designed;filling the volatile compound-storing structures with the volatile compound in the liquid state, the volatile compound-storing structures connected to the passive flow control nozzles, the passive flow control nozzles preventing the volatile compound from passing therethrough in the liquid state but permitting emission of the volatile compound in a vapor state out of the compound-storing structure and into the pre-designed geometrically shaped vapor volume;installing a system component to protect a mass-regulating barrier from external contamination during operation;initiating start up of the vapor delivery system for operation, and delivering the volatile compounds in the vapor state from the passive flow control nozzles at the specified release rates for the selected specific application;monitoring that concentrations of volatile compounds in the vapor state are adequate within the pre-designed geometrically shaped volumes encompassing the object of protection;monitoring that biologically effective thresholds are achieved within the pre-designed geometrically shaped volumes of volatile compounds in the vapor state encompassing the object of protection;adjusting the vapor delivery system to obtain optimum performance throughout a planned protection period; andinspecting, refilling, cleaning, repairing and maintaining the vapor delivery system as needed. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein release of volatile compounds in the vapor state is into an open local environment. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein release of volatile compounds in the vapor state is into an open field environment. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise pest repellents. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise naturally-occurring pest repellents. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise pest attractants. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise naturally-occurring pest attractants. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise attractants for attracting beneficial insects for biological control. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise naturally-occurring attractants for attracting beneficial insects for biological control. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise pesticides. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise naturally-occurring pesticides. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise pheromones. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise constituents that provide enhanced plant immune responses. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise constituents that provide mating disruption of pests. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds comprise constituents that provide interference with sexual reproduction of pests. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds in the vapor state are effective in protecting plants. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds in the vapor state are effective in repelling or killing mosquitoes, flies, ticks, midges and other pests. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds in the vapor state are effective in integrated pest management programs. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds in the vapor state are effective for protection of plants and foodstuffs in storage. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds in the vapor state are effective for protection of plants and foodstuffs in transit. 21. The method of claim 1, wherein the volatile compounds in the vapor state are effective for enhanced biological control such as push-pull strategies that use both repellents and attractants.
