PROLOGUE
Many of the chemical pesticides are carcinogenic, non – bio degradable, and are
pollutants to nature.
Also they become ineffective due to development of new physiological races of
pathogens.
Pest repellents, based on essential oils are eco friendly and will not be get immunized
by pathogens. Residues are not hazardous to man and animal. They are very safe and
biodegradable and non-carcinogenic. They are not a threat to the environment.
First studies on the inhibitory action of essential oils on bacterial growth were by
Chamberland in 1887.
Use of plant extracts to control plant diseases was first reported by Democrats as early
as 470 B.C.
CONSTITUENTS AND MODE OF ACTION:
"Fatty acids are well known to have insect repellency," says chemist Charles
Cantrell.
Anise oil has reportedly been used as an insecticide against head-lice and mites
Catnip is a natural repellent to cockroaches.
Cayenne pepper, citrus oil, lemon juice, cinnamon, coffee grounds repel Ants.
Cedar repels many insects including moths
Citrus is a natural flea deterrent.
Cymbopogon citrate is a safe insect repellent.

fleas and even black flies. An environmentally benign garlic-derived polysulfide
product is approved for use in the European Union and the UK as a nematicide
and insecticide, including for use for control of cabbage root fly and red mite in
poultry.
Marigold is a natural Bug Repellent.
