PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an insecticidal composition for insect and arthropod.SOLUTION: The composition contains an active component having a mixture of aliphatic acids and each aliphatic acid has 6 to 12 carbon straight chain length. The aliphatic acid mixture contains a first aliphatic acid molecule having a carbon straight chain having 6 to 8 carbon atom length and a carboxylic acid group. The aliphatic acid mixture also contains a second aliphatic acid molecule containing the carbon straight chain having 8 to 12 carbon atom length and the carboxylic acid group. The composition also contains a carrier for promoting adhesion, absorption or transportation over a surface of insects or arthropod for bringing their impotence or death.【課題】昆虫又は節足動物の殺虫性組成物を提供する。【解決手段】当該組成物は、脂肪酸の混合物を有する活性成分を含み、当該脂肪酸のそれぞれは、6~12の炭素原子長の炭素直鎖を有する。当該脂肪酸混合物は、6~8の炭素原子長の炭素直鎖及びカルボン酸基を有する第一の脂肪酸分子を含む。当該脂肪酸混合物はまた、8~12の炭素原子長の炭素直鎖及びカルボン酸基を有する第二の脂肪酸分子を含む。当該組成物はまた、それらの不能又は死をもたらすための、昆虫又は節足動物の表面にわたって付着、又は吸収、又は輸送を促進する担体を含む。【選択図】図1
