Garlic Oil

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Repellent and disrupts the sensory receptors of insects

Common Product Names: Captiva Prime

What is it?

Garlic oil is extracted from garlic bulbs through steam distillation or cold pressing. It contains sulfur compounds, primarily allicin, which are responsible for its pesticidal properties. The oil is known for its strong odor and is often used in diluted forms to treat plants.

How does it work?

Garlic oil affects insects in several ways:

  • Repellent: The strong odor masks plant scents, making it difficult for pests to locate their targets.
  • Disruption: It interferes with the insect’s sensory receptors, causing disorientation and deterrence from feeding and laying eggs on treated plants.
  • Direct Toxicity: At higher concentrations, garlic oil can cause direct harm to certain insect species.

Benefits

  • Prevention: Acts as a preventive measure against fungal infections and insect infestations.
  • Natural Repellent: Its strong odor helps repel pests without killing them, reducing the risk of resistance development.
  • Organic Certification: Suitable for use in organic farming and gardening.
