Rosemary Essential Oil is extracted from the leaves of the Rosmarinus officinalis plant, native to the Mediterranean region. Rosemary is a plant indigenous to the Mediterranean where it grows wild on the dry, rocky slopes near the sea. Its name is derived from the Latin “ros marinus,” meaning “sea dew.” Today it is cultivated throughout the world. It belongs to the same botanical family as mint and sage.

Industrial Usage:
Pest Control (Home and Industrial): Rosemary Oil is listed by the US EPA as an Active Ingredient Eligible for Minimum Risk Pesticide Products. Its use in pesticide products is exempt from the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) under the Minimum Risk Exemption regulations in 40 CFR 152.25(f). It is approved for both food and non-food use.
Rosemary essential oil is a popular natural ingredient in pest control products due to its natural pest-repellent properties. Many insects find the scent of rosemary unpleasant, which deters them from the treated area.
Rosemary essential oil can be used in various ways to control pests:
Direct application: Diluted Rosemary oil can be sprayed directly on plants or surfaces to repel insects.
Diffusers: Using a diffuser to disperse the oil's aroma can create a repellent atmosphere in a room or greenhouse.
Commercial products: Many commercial pest control products incorporate Rosemary oil as a key ingredient.
Natural and safe: Rosemary oil is generally considered safe for humans, pets, and the environment when used appropriately according to instructions.
Effective: Rosemary oil can repel a variety of pests, including mosquitoes, flies, and certain garden pests.
Pleasant aroma: Unlike many chemical repellents, rosemary oil has a fresh, herbaceous scent.
Food Preservation Additive (Human and Animal Food): Rosemary Oil’s use as a natural food preservative is drawing increasing interest from food producers.
Safety and Efficacy:
This product’s use in food preservation is not widespread. It is still in its infancy and has its challenges, most notably that the concentration necessary to be an effective food preservative may not be safe, and may overwhelm the flavor and aroma of the food product. It is best used modestly in combination with other established food-preservation techniques.
