Capsicum Oleoresin Extract

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Repellent / Irritation to their sensory receptors

Common Product Names: Captiva Prime

What is it?

Capsicum Oleoresin Extract is a natural compound derived from the fruit of chili peppers. The active component responsible for its effectiveness is capsaicin, the same substance that gives peppers their heat. This extract is a reddish-brown liquid with a pungent odor, used in various formulations to control pests. Due to its natural origin, it is often favored in organic farming and gardening practices. Capsicum Oleoresin is non-toxic to humans and pets when used as directed, making it an appealing option for those looking to minimize chemical inputs.

How does it work?

Capsicum Oleoresin Extract works primarily by causing intense irritation to pests that come into contact with it. The capsaicin in the extract targets the sensory neurons of insects, causing a burning sensation that deters them from feeding, settling, or breeding in treated areas. In some cases, this irritation can be so severe that it disrupts the insect's nervous system, leading to paralysis or death. Capsicum Oleoresin can act as a repellent, driving pests away before they cause significant damage.

Benefits

  • Natural and organic: Derived from chili peppers, it is an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides.
  • Non-toxic: Safe for humans, pets, and beneficial insects when used correctly.
  • Repellent and insecticidal properties: Effective both in repelling pests and, in some cases, killing them.
  • Rapid action: Insects react immediately upon contact, leading to quick results.
  • Residual effects: Provides short-term residual protection, particularly useful for repeated applications in high pest pressure areas.
