The invention described herein is that of novel pesticides for aerial field application with low toxicity and environmental impact. The invention leverages the physical characteristics of hydrocolloids - particularly gums and preferably natural gums - to reduce to practice the sprayable pesticide formulation described herein. The rheological properties of the pesticides allow exit from industrialspray nozzles under pressure and subsequent coalescence of fine droplets into droplets of sufficient size and adhesiveness act as sticky traps for small insects that encounter the droplets on the target foliage. The pesticides are unique in the sense that they do not include environmentally harmful chemicals and are not harmful to ecosystems and life. Rather, the pesticides of the present invention trap target pests such as small soft-bodied insects and arachnids in place such that they become immobilized eventually die. 本文描述的发明涉及具有低毒性和环境影响力的用于野外空中施用的新的杀虫剂。本发明利用了水胶体、特别是胶质且优选为天然胶质的物理特性，将本文中描述的可喷雾杀虫剂剂型付诸实践。所述杀虫剂的流变学性质允许
