Pest Control Products:
Geranium Essential Oil exhibits insecticidal properties, making it a candidate for controlling certain pests like mosquitoes, ants, aphids, certain types of flies, and certain caterpillars.
Geranium Essential Oil is listed by the US EPA as an Active Ingredient Eligible for Minimum Risk Pesticide Products. Its use in pesticide products is exempt from the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) under the Minimum Risk Exemption regulations in 40 CFR 152.25(f). Note: It is approved only for non-food use.
The insecticidal properties of geranium oil are attributed to its chemical composition, primarily containing compounds like citronellol and geraniol. These compounds disrupt the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and eventual death. Additionally, the strong scent of geranium oil can act as a repellent, deterring insects from the treated area.
While geranium oil has shown some promise in pest control, it's essential to note that its efficacy can vary depending on the pest species, concentration, and application method.
Pest Control, Industrial and Home Use
-
Insect repellent: Geranium oil can be used as a natural insect repellent for some pests, like ants, mosquitoes and flies. Its pleasant scent can be diffused using an essential oil diffuser. Once diluted with water or with a carrier oil, it can be sprayed on exposed skin or clothing or applied topically to skin or to indoor plant stems and leaves.
-
However, its effectiveness as a repellent is often limited. Some commercial insect repellents and cleaning products may contain geranium oil blended with other essential oils with stronger insecticidal properties as natural ingredients. For more robust pest control, geranium oil can be combined with other botanical insecticides or used as part of an integrated pest management (IPM) program.
Pest Control, Agricultural Use
-
Repellent: Geranium oil can be used as a natural repellent for certain insect pests in agriculture, including aphids, mosquitoes, and certain types of flies. However, its effectiveness can vary depending on the crop and pest.
-
Crop protection: Some studies have shown that geranium oil can protect crops from certain fungal diseases, although more research is needed. It should be used on non-food crops only.
-
Efficacy: The effectiveness of geranium oil in agricultural pest control can vary depending on the pest species, concentration, and application method.
Environmental impact: Geranium oil is considered environmentally friendly. However, its impact on beneficial insects is still under investigation.
