  • A Method for Admixing Plant Essential Oils to Coatings (Paints, Stains, etc) For the Purpose of Repelling Insects During Coating Application and Introducing an Insect Repellant Nature to the Cured or Dried Film
    Publication number: 20060029630
    Abstract: The Federal EPA has consistently limited the use of known toxicants (insecticides) to preclude their admixture into paints and coatings by contractors or homeowners for the purpose of repelling or killing insects on the dried or cured coating. The current invention utilizes materials taken from the EPA's GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) List for this purpose. Furthermore, the current invention utilizes the insect repellant nature of these materials to repel insects from the area during coating application, thereby eliminating the need for topical insect repellants such as DEET.
