“…However, its control effect in the field and toxicity in non‐target organisms, such as fish and other native species, are not known. The mortality of workers of RIFA was 100% after fumigation with the essential oil of Sericulture brevifolia at 20 μl/L concentration, which exhibits acute fumigation toxicity, suggesting that this essential oil had the potential to be a plant‐derived candidate chemical in controlling RIFA (Xie et al, 2019). However, its field trial has not been reported.…”

The red imported fire ant (RIFA), Solenopsis invicta Buren, is an invasive pest species worldwide in many countries and regions. At present, its control mainly depends on synthetic insecticides. Although synthetic insecticides have the advantages of efficacy and convenience, their widespread use has a negative impact on the diversity of local arthropods. Ethanol is widely used as a disinfectant and has been consumed by people, but its insecticidal effect has not yet been evaluated. Here, the control effect of ethanol on the RIFA and its toxicity on four fish species were evaluated. The results exhibited that mortalities of all tested adult castes reached 100% after soaking in 70% v/v ethanol solution for one hour. All reproductive and worker pupae survived at 60% v/v ethanol treatment. In the soaking plus fumigation experiment, all adult castes and brood except female pupae were sensitive to 30% v/v ethanol solution. Conversely, female pupae showed the highest resistance to ethanol. More than 60% v/v ethanol concentration was needed to cause its 100% mortality. In the field experiment, 25% v/v and 50% v/v ethanol solution resulted in 70% and 80% reduction of mound 14 d after drench treatment, respectively. The ethanol vapour in the nest soil was higher than 80 ppm after 72 h of mound drench in the field with 25% v/v ethanol solution. Moreover, 30% v/v ethanol solution did not adversely affect the survival of four fish species exposed to the solution for a short time. This study suggests that mound drench can be alternatively employed with ethanol as a green organic solvent to control RIFA.

“…Jankowska et al (2018) indicated that in insects, essential oils cause paralysis followed by death, and the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase is one of the most investigated mechanisms of action. Studies conducted by Xie et al (2019) found that 1,8-cineole significantly inhibited the acetylcholinesterase activity in the red imported fire ant workers. But Tak and Isman (2015) indicated that 1,8-cineole could stimulate the response of pheromone-sensitive sensilla of American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana L.; Blattodea: Blattidae), receptor cells modulated by octopamine, a neurotransmitter present only in arthropods.…”

“…These deformities were less or more expressed on elytra developed adults while 1,8-cineole concentration increase. In other insects, 1,8-cineole showed 100% mortality of the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren; Hymenoptera: Formicidae) workers, even at the lowest concentration of 20 μL L -1 after 24 h exposure (Xie et al, 2019). Kumar et al (2012) assessed the insecticidal effect of 1,8-cineole by fumigation against M. domestica obtained for larvae a CL50 of 2.4 μL L -1 and 100% mortality of pupae.…”

Alternative methods of control against different parasites affecting livestock and agriculture are currently being sought. The essential oil of Peumus boldus Molina has anthelmintic and insecticidal activity against the nematode Haemonchus contortus and stored cereal insect pests. The present study aimed to assess the in vitro activity of P. boldus essential oil against H. contortus (L3) unsheathed and Sitophilus zeamais, Tribolium castaneum, and Plodia interpunctella. The essential oil was obtained from leaves of P. boldus and its principal compounds identified by phytochemical analysis. Essential oil was tested at concentrations of 0.

“…This could be due to other chemicals in the composition (e.g., α-thujone and β-thujone) of JFFEO that may contribute to synergistic insecticidal effects on A. suspensa. For example, (α + β) thujone showed toxicity to the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) when used as a fumigant and achieved a 100% mortality with an appropriate dose-dependent treatment [67]. It is speculated that a synergistic effect between α-pinene and (α + β) thujone may have played an important role in improving the toxicity.…”

The present study analyzed the chemical composition of Juniperus foetidissima Willd. essential oils (EOs) and evaluated their attractancy and toxicity to two agriculturally important tephritid fruit flies. The composition of hydrodistilled EOs obtained from leaves (JFLEO) and fruits (JFFEO) of J. foetidissima was analyzed by GC–FID and GC–MS. The main compounds were α-pinene (45%) and cedrol (18%) in the JFLEO and α-pinene (42%), α-thujone (12%), and β-thujone (25%) in the JFFEO. In behavioral bioassays of the male Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), both JFLEO and JFFEO showed strong attraction comparable to that observed with two positive controls, Melaleuca alternifolia and Tetradenia riparia EOs. In topical bioassays of the female Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), the toxicity of JFFEO was two-fold higher than that of JFLEO, with the LD50 values being 10.46 and 22.07 µg/µL, respectively. This could be due to differences in chemical components between JFLEO and JFFEO. The JFFEO was dominated by 48% monoterpene hydrocarbons (MH) and 46% oxygenated monoterpenes (OM), while JFLEO consisted of 57% MH, 18% OM, and 20% oxygenated sesquiterpenes (OS). This is the first study to evaluate the attractancy and toxicity of J. foetidissima EOs to tephritid fruit flies. Our results indicate that JFFEO has the potential for application to the management of pest tephritid species, and further investigation is warranted.
