Patent Abstract

The device comprises a shielding element (3), which has an insecticide, which is transmitted to insects touching the shielding element. A multiplicity of individual microcapsules (10) is also provided, which contains the insecticide (13) in their respective interior (11). The insecticide is enclosed by an envelope (12) surrounding the interior of the individual microcapsules. The microcapsules stay in connection with the shielding element by the insecticide or by a binding substance (14) arranged on the envelope. An independent claim is also included for a method for applying an insecticide on a screen element of a device, which involves utilizing insecticide inside a micro cap, which has a surrounding covering.
