Geraniol

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Disrupting the nervous system of insects

Common Product Names: Essentria

What is it?

Geraniol is a terpene alcohol found in the essential oils of various aromatic plants such as geraniums, lemongrass, and roses. It has a rose-like scent and is commonly used in the fragrance industry. In pest control, geraniol is valued for its natural origin and effectiveness in repelling and killing insects.

How does it work?

Geraniol functions through contact action. When insects encounter surfaces treated with geraniol, it penetrates their exoskeleton and affects their nervous system. This leads to a disruption in their ability to move, feed, and reproduce, ultimately resulting in their death. Geraniol can also act as a repellent, deterring insects from entering treated areas.

Benefits

  • Natural and Safe: Geraniol is derived from natural sources, making it a safer alternative to synthetic pesticides. It poses minimal risk to humans, pets, and the environment.
  • Pleasant Fragrance: Unlike many chemical pesticides, geraniol has a pleasant floral scent, making it more agreeable to use in homes and gardens.
  • Non-Toxic Residual: Geraniol does not leave harmful residues, making it suitable for use in sensitive areas like kitchens and food storage areas.
