Cinnamon oil kills mosquitoes more effectively than DEET
NOTE FOR REPORTERS: The statement in our original news release (distributed 7-15) that cinnamon oil can “kill mosquito larvae more effectively than DEET” is misleading since we neglected to point out that DEET is most commonly used in insect repellants, not as a larvicide. We apologize for not making this clear. Please disregard the previous version of this news release and use the following version.
Cinnamon oil shows promise as a great-smelling, environmentally friendly pesticide, with the ability to kill mosquito larvae, according to a new study published in the July 14 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society.
The researchers also expect that cinnamon oil could be a good mosquito repellant, though they have not yet tested it against adult mosquitoes.
Besides being a summer nuisance, mosquitoes pose some major public health problems, carrying such deadly agents as malaria, yellow fever and West Nile virus. While conventional pesticide application is often effective in controlling mosquito larvae before they hatch, repeated use of these agents has raised serious environmental and health concerns.
