Synergistic and residual pesticidal compositions containing plant essential oils with enzyme inhibitors
Synergistic and residual pesticidal compositions containing synergistic and residual mixtures of plant essential oils in admixture with enzyme inhibitors, with or without other compounds not previously used as active ingredients in pesticidal formulations. In addition, the present invention is directed to a method for controlling pests by applying a pesticidally-effective amount of the above synergistic and residual pesticidal compositions to a locus where pest control is desired.
1. A pesticidal composition comprising:
an inert carrier and a pesticidally-effective active ingredient, wherein the active ingredient consists of piperonyl butoxide, benzyl alcohol and phenyl ethyl propionate, with the proviso that no other pesticidally-effective active ingredient is present.
2. A method for killing or controlling cockroaches, comprising:
applying a pesticidally effective amount of the composition of claim 1 , to a locus where killing or control of cockroaches is desired.
3. The pesticidal composition of claim 1 , wherein phenyl ethyl propionate is 1-phenyl ethyl propionate.
4. The pesticidal composition of claim 1 , wherein phenyl ethyl propionate is 2-phenyl ethyl propionate.
