[0056] The following drawings form part of the present specification and are included to further demonstrate certain aspects of the present invention. The invention may be better understood by reference to one or more of these drawings in combination with the detailed description of specific embodi› ments presented herein. 

[0057] FIG. 1 shows an apparatus and method for killing frogs, and frog eggs on plants that will be either imported or exported. 

[0058] Before describing the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to par› ticular compositions or composition delivery systems, which may vary. One having ordinary skill in the art will understand that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describ› ing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting. In addition, before describing detailed embodiments of the invention, it will be useful to set forth definitions that are used in describing the invention. The definitions set forth apply only to the terms as they are used in this patent and may not be applicable to the same terms as used elsewhere, for example in scientific literature or other patents or applications including other applications by these inventors or assigned to common owners. Additionally, when examples are given, they are intended to be exemplary only and not to be restric› tive. 

[0059] It must be noted that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an" and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dic› tates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "a pharma› cologically active agent" includes a mixture of two or more such compounds, reference to "a base" includes mixtures of two or more bases, reference to "an acid" includes mixtures of two or more acids, and the like. 

[0060] In describing and claiming the present invention, the following terminology will be used in accordance with the definitions set out below. 

[0061] The terms "Active agent," "chemically active agent," "composition," and "pesticide" are typically used interchangeably herein to refer to compositions and drugs that may be useful as a preservative and additive for food and feed, as well as a pesticide for certain species. The terms also encompass chemically acceptable, chemically active deriva› tives and analogs of such compositions, including, but not limited to, salts, esters, amides, pro-drugs, active metabolites, inclusion complexes, analogs, and the like. Therefore, when the terms "active agent," "chemically active agent", or "pes› ticide" are used, it is to be understood that applicants intend to include the active composition per se as well as chemically acceptable, pharmaceutically acceptable, pharmacologically active salts, esters, amides, pro-drugs, active metabolites, inclusion complexes, analogs, etc., which are collectively referred to herein as "chemically or pharmaceutically accept› able derivatives," or "functional chemical derivatives thereof." 

[0062] The term "ACS-P" as used in the present invention pertains to the by-product created during the manufacture of Acidic Calcium Sulfate ("ACS") according to the Mionix protocol. It consists of calcium sulfate saturated with sulfuric

acid and its production is described below. Another way of describing ACS-Pis the calcium salt of sulfuric acid that is highly saturated with sulfuric acid. When ACS 100, or ION ACS, is manufactured the by-product has been calledACS-P 100. When ACS 50, or SN ACS, is manufactured the by› product is calledACS-P 50. 

[0063] The term "ACS" acidified calcium sulfate as used in the present invention pertains to acids, or acidic mixtures, used herein include acidic solution of sparingly-soluble Group IIA complexes ("AGIIS"); adduct havingAGIIS, pref› erably it is the organic acid adduct, wherein the organic acid can be propionic acid, lactic acid, or both; sulfuric acid having calcium sulfate dissolved therein, the sulfuric acid can be concentrated sulfuric acid; highly acidic metalated organic acid ("HAMO"); highly acidic metalated mixture of inor› ganic acid ("HAMMIA"), and a mixture thereof. A first acid, or acidic mixture, isAGIIS. The acidic, or low pH, solution of sparingly-soluble Group IIA complexes ("AGIIS") may have a suspension of very fine particles, and the term "low pH" means the pH is below 7, in the acidic region. TheAGIIS has a certain acid normality but does not have the same dehydrat› ing behavior as a saturated calcium sulfate in sulfuric acid having the same normality. In other words, the AGIIS has a certain acid normality but does not char sucrose as readily as does a saturated solution of calcium sulfate in sulfuric acid having the same normality. Further, the AGIIS has low vola› tility at room temperature and pressure. It is less corrosive to a human skin than sulfuric acid saturated with calcium sulfate having the same acid normality. Not intending to be bound by the theory, it is believed that one embodiment of AGIIS com› prises near-saturated, saturated, or super-saturated calcium, sulfate anions or variations thereof, and/or complex ions con› taining calcium, sulfates, and/or variations thereof. 

[0064] The term "complex," as used herein, denotes a com› position wherein individual constituents are associated. "Associated" means constituents are bound to one another either covalently or non-covalently, the latter as a result of hydrogen bonding or other inter-molecular forces. The con› stituents may be present in ionic, non-ionic, hydrated or other forms. 

[0065] The term "surfactant," as used herein, refers to a blend of surface active agents that are usually organic amphiphilic compounds, meaning they contain both hydro› phobic groups (their "tails") and hydrophilic groups (their "heads"). Therefore, they are soluble in both organic solvents and water. One of ordinary skill in the art understands that surfactants can be classified by the presence of formally charged groups in its head. A non-ionic surfactant has no charge groups in its head (e.g. tween, triton x-100, cetyl alcohol etc). The head of an ionic surfactant carries a net charge ( e.g. Sodium dodecyl sulfate, CHAPS, benzalkonium chloride, etc). If the charge is negative, the surfactant is more specifically called anionic; if the charge is positive, it is called cationic. If a surfactant contains a head with two oppositely charged groups, it is termed zwitterionic. Some surfactants that may be useful for this invention include Perfluorooc› tanoate (PFOA or PFO); Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS); Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), ammonium lauryl sulfate, and other alkyl sulfate salts; Sodium laureth sulfate, also known as sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES); Alkyl benzene sul› fonate; Soaps, or fatty acid salts; Cationic (based on quater› nary ammonium cations); Cetyl trimethylammonium bro› mide (CTAB) a.k.a. hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, and other alkyltrimethylammonium salts; Cetylpy-
