Biological Pest Control
Orange oil can be used in biological pest control green pesticides, and can kill individual and colonies of ants and eradicate their "scent-pheromone trail" indicators to disrupt re-infestation. Their use in organic farming is getting increasingly important because of their non-toxic nature. They are commonly used in kitchens to safely repel insects.
Orange oil is also a popular tool for guaranteed safe and effective termite extermination of the Drywood (Kalotermitidae) variety.Tampa, Florida pest control company Citrugard Termite Control uses orange oil to prevent the tenting of residential homes and commercial buildings and temporarily relocate residents; as is necessary with traditional fumigation practices. Using a drill and injection technique, technicians drill holes in specific areas with termite activity and inject the orange oil into the holes. The orange oil then seeps into the surrounding areas to kill the termites without causing harm to humans and their pets.
