Abstract

Pesticidal compositions containing rosemary oil and/or wintergreen oil and methods for using same are disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A pesticidal composition comprising, in admixture with an acceptable carrier, rosemary oil and optionally, a diluent selected from the group consisting of wintergreen oil, mineral oil, benzyl alcohol, citronellal, d-limonene, safflower oil, soybean oil, and sesame oil, wherein the composition is pesticidally effective against fungus, bacteria, insects, arachnids, larvae and eggs thereof.  
     
     
         2 . The pesticidal composition of  claim 1 , wherein the composition is effective against mites, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, loopers, worms, beetles, leafrollers, moths and weevils and eggs thereof.  
     
     
         3 . A method for controlling agricultural invertebrate pests, including insects, arachnids, larvae and eggs thereof, comprising applying to the locus where control is desired a pesticidally-effective amount of the composition of  claim 1 .  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the invertebrate pest is selected from the group consisting of mites, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, loopers, worms, beetles, leafrollers, moths and weevils and eggs thereof.  
     
     
         5 . A pesticidal composition comprising, in admixture with an acceptable carrier, wintergreen oil and optionally, a diluent selected from the group consisting of rosemary oil, mineral oil, benzyl alcohol, citronellal, d-limonene, safflower oil, soybean oil, and sesame oil, wherein the composition is pesticidally effective against fungus, bacteria, insects, arachnids, larvae and eggs thereof.  
     
     
         6 . The pesticidal composition of  claim 5 , wherein the composition is effective against mites, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, loopers, worms, beetles, leafrollers, moths and weevils and eggs thereof.  
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 5 , wherein the diluent is mineral oil.  
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 7 , wherein wintergreen oil and mineral oil are present in a ratio of 70% to 30%, respectively.  
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 7  wherein wintergreen oil and mineral oil is present in a ratio of 30% to 70%, respectively.  
     
     
         10 . A method for controlling agricultural invertebrate pests, including insects, arachnids, larvae and eggs thereof, comprising applying to the locus where control is desired a pesticidally-effective amount of the composition of  claim 5 .  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the invertebrate pest is selected from the group consisting of mites, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, loopers, worms, beetles, leafrollers, moths and weevils and eggs thereof.  
     
     
         12 . A pesticidal composition comprising, in admixture with an acceptable carrier, rosemary oil, wintergreen oil and optionally, a diluent selected from the group consisting of mineral oil, benzyl alcohol, citronellal, d-limonene, safflower oil, soybean oil, and sesame oil, wherein the composition is pesticidally effective against fungus, bacteria, insects, arachnids, larvae and eggs thereof.  
     
     
         13 . The pesticidal composition of  claim 12 , wherein the composition is effective against mites, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, loopers, worms, beetles, leafrollers, moths and weevils and eggs thereof.  
     
     
         14 . The pesticidal composition of  claim 12 , wherein rosemary oil and wintergreen oil are present in the pesticide formulation in the percent ratio of 25% to 75%, respectively.  
     
     
         15 . The pesticidal composition of  claim 12 , wherein rosemary oil and wintergreen oil are present in the percent ratio of 75% to 25%, respectively.  
     
     
         16 . The composition of  claim 12 , wherein wintergreen oil and rosemary oil are present ( ) in the percent ratio of 80% to 20%, respectively.  
     
     
         17 . The pesticidal composition of  claim 12 , wherein rosemary oil and wintergreen oil are present in equal amounts.  
     
     
         18 . A method for controlling agricultural invertebrate pests, including insects, arachnids, larvae and eggs thereof, comprising applying to the locus where control is desired a pesticidally-effective amount of the composition of  claim 12 .  
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the invertebrate pest is selected from the group consisting of mites, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, loopers, worms, beetles, leafrollers, moths and weevils and eggs thereof.  
     
     
         20 - 111 . (canceled)
