ORGANIC SPRAY INSECTICIDE

INSECTICIDE BIOLOGIQUE A PULVERISER

English Abstract

This invention uses the strengths of one or more organic actives and enhances the active(s) natural
insecticidal properties by cleansing and revealing the outer layer of the target insects. This cleansing is
supplied by the emulsifiable d-Limonene which robs the insect of it's protective coating. After a short
period of time the chosen active(s) will quickly bond to the body fluids of the target insect. The
quantity of synergist and the choice of active(s) will afford control results from instant kill to many
months of control.

French Abstract

L'invention utilise les forces d'une ou de plusieurs substances bioactives et améliore les propriétés des insecticides naturels bioactifs par dépouillement et révélation de l'exosquelette des insectes visés. L'action de dépouillement est exercée par le d-limonène émulsifiable qui dérobe l'insecte de sa couche protectrice. Après un court laps de temps, les substances bioactives choisies se lieront rapidement aux fluides corporels de l'insecte visé. La quantité de synergiste et le choix des substances bioactives permettront d'obtenir des résultats allant de la destruction instantanée à de nombreux mois de lutte insecticide.

Claims

Claims
1. an organic insecticide spray using D'limonene, emulsified in water, that
penetrates the
targeted insects protective oily/waxy coating allowing the included active
compound(s)
direct penetration into body fluids.
2. an insecticide as in claim 1, the active compound(s) are synergized by
allowing direct access
to the insects metabolic fluid activity.
3. an insecticide as in claim 1 and 2, using a synergized insecticidal active,
example: Boron in
boric acid, causes insect mortality by binding metabolic enzymes directly
instead of going
through the symbiotic Protozoa of the insects gut.

Specifications
This invention relates to the control of insects with enhanced (synergized) organic compounds.
This new class of super active (naturally occurring) insecticides will replace the current neuro-toxin
based products. Organic actives include; Boric acid, Baking soda, Garlic extracts, Capsicum extracts,
Tea extracts (including tea derived from compost), Mint oils, Neem oil, Eucalyptus oils Melaleuca oils
and Pine oil. The d-Limonene (synonym: Dextro-Limonene, 4-Isopropenyl-l-methylcyclohexene) must
be food grade in order to prevent the formation of environmentally negative oxides. Less than pure d-
Limonene will form Limonene oxide. Constituents: (Cis-d-limonene-1,2-oxide) (Limonene-2-
Hydroperoxide) ( cis/trans isomers of Limonene oxide)
Organic based insecticides will not damage the natural environment as nature contains many organisms
which utilize this synergist (emulsifiable d-Limonene, food grade). Non-target species, soil and ~nim~
are unharmed. Pesticide resistant plants will not be required. Caution required around aquatic
org~n-~m.~
This idea lends itself to individual, commercial/structural and agricultural applications (including
organic farmers). The products would be used in a water based spray/mist format of varying
concentrations. Synergist concentration should be between 0.35% to 25% by volumn, food grade (d-
Limonene 97% to 99% pure).
