“…We found that both tested VOs could repel all pests at the highest concentration up to 21 days after their application. This was a nding contradictory to those of other studies on EOs demonstrating their repellent activity in hours (Licciardello et al 2013;Vendl et al 2021). However, some other studies on EOs showed similar results to ours, i.e., e cacy for even several weeks (Wong et al 2005;Mikhaiel 2011).…”

“…They were generally more effective on wood slabs and cardboard than on polyethylene lm and gunnysacks, although the differences were rather moderate. Differences in the effectiveness of plant oils depending on the surface treated have been reported in other works (e.g., Mikhaiel 2011;Vendl et al 2021). This may be due to a different absorption and subsequent evaporation rate, depending on the porosity of the material (Nikpay 2007).…”

The repellent activity of two odourless vegetable oils (sweet almond - SAO and soybean - SO) applied on filter paper and four types of food packaging materials (polyethylene film, plastic gunnysacks, cardboard, and wood) was tested against three species of stored product pests (Sitophilus granarius, Tribolium castaneum and Oryzaephilus surinamensis). The repellence of three doses was evaluated after 24 hours, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Both oils exhibited a repellent effect when applied to filter paper, but its effect decreased with time and concentration. The most susceptible species was T. castaneum. The maximum repellence was 84% and 76% for SO and SAO, respectively. On packaging materials, the repellent effect diminished after a certain period of time, ranging from 7 to 28 days. Subsequently, the oils even became attractive. Generally, the repellent effects of both SO and SAO were higher on cardboard than on polyethylene film and plastic gunnysacks. For instance, in the case of SO, the repellence against T. castaneum was 88% 24 hours after application on cardboard, whilst 68% on plastic bag. This work demonstrated the repellent potential of vegetable oils in the short term for the protection of packaged food against stored product pests.

“…Packaging is an important element of protection against pests. Various types of packages differ in the resilience to penetration or invasion by various pest species [ 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 ]. Vacuum packaging or packaging filled with inert gases can then provide increased food protection [ 118 , 119 , 120 ].…”

Insecticides and rodenticides form the basis of integrated pest management systems worldwide. As pest resistance continues to increase and entire groups of chemical active ingredients are restricted or banned, manufacturers are looking for new options for more effective formulations and safer application methods for the remaining pesticide ingredients. In addition to new technological adaptations of mainstream formulations in the form of sprays, fumigants, and dusts, the use of gel formulations is becoming increasingly explored and employed. This article summarizes information on the current and potential use of gel (including hydrogel) and paste formulations against harmful arthropods or rodents in specific branches of pest management in the agricultural, food, stored product, structural wood, urban, medical, and public health areas. Due to the worldwide high interest in natural substances, part of the review was devoted to the use of gels for the formulation of pesticide substances of botanical origin, such as essential or edible oils. Gels as emerging formulation of so called “smart insecticides” based on molecular iRNA disruptors are discussed.

“…Their significance extends further as they have attracted considerable attention for the development of insecticides and acaricides [ 41 , 42 , 43 ]. Indeed, research efforts have extensively concentrated on assessing the contact effects of EOs on insect species by application onto filter paper, or by topical administration onto the dorsal region of the insect thorax, while also investigating their efficacy as botanical repellents [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Various EOs and their physiologically active constituents have garnered significant recommendations as promising contact toxicants and fumigants because of their volatile characteristics, leaving negligible residual impact [ 49 ].…”

The Apiaceae family, known for aromatic plants producing bioactive essential oils (EOs), holds significance across sectors, including agrochemicals. This study evaluated the insecticidal potential of four Apiaceae EOs from Crithmum maritimum L., Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Sprague ex Turrill, Smyrnium olusatrum L., and Elwendia persica (Boiss.) Pimenov and Kljuykov against various significant storage pests (Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Trogoderma granarium Everts, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), T. confusum Jacquelin du Val, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer), Acarus siro L., and Tenebrio molitor L.) on wheat. Insect mortality rates were monitored at intervals of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days. Smyrnium olusatrum EO exhibited the highest efficacy, followed by T. ammi, C. maritimum, and E. persica EOs, although efficacy varied by species, developmental stage, and concentration. Notably, complete mortality occurred for several pests at 1000 ppm of S. olusatrum and T. ammi EOs. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis revealed key compounds in these EOs, including myrcene, germacrone, and curzerene in S. olusatrum EO, and thymol, γ-terpinene, and p-cymene in T. ammi EO. These findings emphasize their potential as botanical insecticides. Smyrnium olusatrum and T. ammi EOs emerge as promising eco-friendly pest management options due to their efficacy, highlighted compound composition, and availability of biomass from both wild and cultivated sources.
