Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 26
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A method of treating insects or pests, comprising: a. combining a mixture of approximately 0.5% to 2.5% insectide with the balance of the mixture being approximately two-thirds dimethyl ether as an anesthetic and one-third inert ingredients; and b. applying said mixture onto a nest or dwelling place of said insects or pests or onto the insects or pests themselves whereby said anesthetic reduces the mobility of said insects or pests while said insecticide acts to kill said insects or pests.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
80 words
A method of treating insects or pests, comprising: a. combining a mixture of approximately 0.5% to 2.5% insectide with the balance of the mixture being approximately two-thirds dimethyl ether as an anesthetic and one-third inert ingredients; and b. applying said mixture onto a nest or dwelling place of said insects or pests or onto the insects or pests themselves whereby said anesthetic reduces the mobility of said insects or pests while said insecticide acts to kill said insects or pests.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method as described in claim 1, wherein said inert ingredients are methylene chloride and petroleum oil (refined) in equal proportions.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
90 words
A method of treating insects or pests, comprising: a. combining an insecticide and an anesthetic into a mixture as follows: ______________________________________
Insecticide .5 to 2.5%
Petroleum Oil, Refined
16.5%
Methyl Chloride 16.5%
Dimethyl Ether 64.5 to 66.5%
100%
______________________________________ where the percentages indicated are by weight; and b. applying said mixture onto a nest or dwelling place of said insects or pests or onto the insects or pests themselves whereby said anesthetic reduces the mobility of said insects or pests while said insecticide acts to kill said insects or pests.

Independent Claim
90 words
A method of treating insects or pests, comprising: a. combining an insecticide and an anesthetic into a mixture as follows: ______________________________________
Insecticide .5 to 2.5%

Claim 15
Dependent Claim
69 words
A mixture which is used to treat insects or pests, wherein an anesthetic is combined in the mixture to immobilize the insect, and an insecticide is combined in the mixture to kill the insect, comprising approximately 0.5% to 2.5% insecticide as a percentage of the overall mixture, with the balance of the mixture being approximately two-thirds (2/3) dimethyl ether as an anesthetic and one-third (1/3) inert ingredients by weight.
