Cornmint Oil

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Disrupt their nervous system

Common Product Names: Essentria IC-Pro

What is it?

Cornmint Oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves and flowering tops of the cornmint plant (Mentha arvensis). This oil is rich in menthol, which gives it a strong, refreshing scent. The natural origin of Cornmint Oil makes it a popular choice for organic and environmentally conscious pest control. It is often used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs due to its safety profile and effectiveness. Insecticidal effects can be observed within hours of application, as the oil rapidly affects the nervous system of insects. 

How does it work?

Cornmint Oil works by directly affecting the nervous system of insects upon contact. The menthol in the oil disrupts neurotransmitter activity, leading to paralysis and eventual death. As a repellent, the strong scent of the oil overwhelms the olfactory senses of insects, making treated areas unattractive and uninhabitable for them.

Benefits

  • Natural and Organic: Cornmint Oil is derived from a natural source, making it an excellent choice for organic farming and gardening.
  • Safe for Humans and Pets: When used as directed, Cornmint Oil is safe for humans and pets, offering a non-toxic alternative to synthetic pesticides.
  • Biodegradable: The oil breaks down naturally, reducing the risk of environmental contamination.
  • Repellent Properties: In addition to killing insects, Cornmint Oil helps repel them, providing a dual-action benefit.
  • Low Risk of Resistance: Due to its natural composition and multi-faceted mode of action, there is a lower risk of pests developing resistance to Cornmint Oil compared to synthetic chemicals.
