More households are using less pesticides to combat the presence of insects. Most natural alternatives to pesticides use essential oils as the active ingredient. Essential oils are better for the environment than pesticides and safe for use around humans and pets. However, essential oils need to be applied directly to the target insect to be effective. Otherwise, the scent from the essential oil acts as a deterrent to keep the target insect away. Different insects are affected by different essential oils, such as mosquito and citronella, or bed bugs and peppermint. Essential oil solutions are marginal when dealing with infestations.
