Essential Oil based Insecticides

Essential Oil Based Insecticides

Essential oil-based insecticides are FIFRA 25(b) exempt — formulated from minimum-risk active ingredients exempt from standard EPA pesticide registration requirements. They are a cornerstone of low-risk Integrated Pest Management (IPM) rotation programs for commercial greenhouse operations, controlled environment agriculture (CEA), and certified organic farms.

Active ingredients include rosemary oil, peppermint oil, thyme oil, clove oil, and other plant-derived essential oils that provide contact kill against a broad spectrum of insects and mites including aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, thrips, and fungus gnats. Short re-entry intervals and low residue profiles make these products ideal for active growing environments.
