Abstract: A pesticide for cockroaches and larvae which is based on purified naturally occurring plant substances. Phenethyl propionate; methyl salicylate; pulegone; carvacrol; thymol; thyme oil; citronellal; a three-blend of eugenol, ?-terpineol and cinnamic alcohol; a four-blend of benzyl alcohol, phenethyl alcohol, phenethyl propionate and ?-terpineol; and a five-blend of thymol, t-anethole, ?-terpineol, eugenol and citronellal have been used as the pesticide. The pesticide affects the octopamine receptor site in the cockroach. The five-blend has been used as a pesticide for Asian armyworms and green peach aphid nymphs. Methods of use of the pesticides are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for controlling insects and arachnids using a composition which is non-toxic to humans. The composition may be a dust, an aerosol or a solvent solution of at least one neurally effective substance. The neurally effective substance has the following general chemical structure. where R1 is any of the following: CH2, C2H4, C3H6, C3H4, C4H8, or C4H4 where R2 is any of the following: H, H2, CH3, C2H5, C3H7, C3H5, C4H9, or C4H5 where R3 is any of the following: H, H2, or OCH3 where the six member ring ABCDEF has at least one unsaturated bond therein. The neurally active substances may also be an ester of the hydroxyl group on R1. Specific active compounds encompass terpineol, phenylethyl alcohol, benzylacetate, benzyl alcohol, eugenol, cinnamic alcohol and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A pesticide and a method of using the pesticide to kill invertebrates, especially insects, arachnids and larvae. The method is to prepare a mixture of a carrier with the pesticide and apply the mixture to the insects, arachnids and larvae and their habitat. The pesticide is a neurotransmitter affector utilizing octopamine receptor sites in the insects, arachnids and larvae. The affector agent is a chemical having a six membered carbon ring having substituted thereon at least one oxygenated functional group. The affector agent is a chemical component of a plant essential oil and is naturally occurring. Deposition of the chemicals of the present invention on a surface provides residual toxicity for up to 30 days. Various carriers for the affector agent are disclosed. The chemicals of the present invention deter feeding of insects, arachnids and larvae and also retard growth of the larvae of the insects and arachnids.
