Description:
REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is a United States Non-Provisional Patent Application of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 63/274,383, filed Nov. 1, 2021, which is hereby incorporated by this reference in its entirety. 
    
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention is generally related to compositions and methods of repelling, killing, and/or resisting pests. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     It is estimated that by 2050 the world&#39;s population will reach 9.1 billion, 34 percent higher than today. In order to feed this larger, more urban and richer population, food production must increase by 70 percent. Annual cereal production will need to rise to about 3 billion tons from 2.1 billion today and annual meat production will need to rise by over 200 million tons to reach 470 million tons. (Food and Agriculture Organization, 1-35 2009) But the necessary increased in production can be jeopardized by the detrimental impact of pests and parasites. Globally, in total of approximately 9000 species of insects and mites, 50000 species of plant pathogens, and 8000 species of weeds injure crops, of which insect pests caused an estimated 14% by weight of loss. (Zhang, W. J., IAEES, 8(1): 1-27 2018) 
     Therefore, pesticides are used widely in agriculture to improve yields and animal protein production. Their role is to control pests: herbicide, insecticides, nematicide, molluscicide, piscicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, insect repellent, animal repellent, antimicrobial, fungicide and parasiticides for the control of internal parasites. 
     In addition, parasiticides are widely used to control Soil Transmitted Helminths in animals and humans. Soil-transmitted helminth infections are among the most common infections worldwide and affect the poorest and most deprived communities. They are transmitted by eggs present in human feces which in turn contaminate soil in areas where sanitation is poor. According to WHO, more than 1.5 billion people, or 24% by weight of the world&#39;s population, are infected with soil-transmitted helminth infections worldwide. Infections are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas, with the greatest numbers occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas, China and East Asia. Over 267 million preschool-age children and over 568 million school-age children live in areas where these parasites are intensively transmitted and are in need of treatment and preventive interventions. (World Health Organization, “Soil-transmitted helminth infections”, 2002) 
     Moreover, pesticides and related compositions are used in the treatment of premises inhabited or used by people and/or animals. These include, for example, homes, apartment buildings, bakeries, beverage plants, bottling facilities, breweries, cafeterias, candy plants, canneries, cereal processing and manufacturing plants, dairy barns, poultry facilities, stock yards, flour mills, food processing plants, frozen food plants, homes, hospitals, hotels, houses, industrial buildings, kennels, kitchens, laboratories, manufacturing facilities, mausoleums, meat processing and packaging plants, meat and vegetable canneries, motels, nursing homes, office buildings, restaurants, schools, stores, supermarkets, warehouses and similar structures, building foundations, dairy facilities, drive-in restaurants, drive-in theaters, golf courses, parks, playgrounds, poultry houses, recreational areas, schools, urban areas, lawns, landscape areas, trees, turf, areas around bodies of water, and zoos. Great needs still exist for such pesticides for these applications. 
     Chemical pesticides and parasiticides have a high toxicity profile and numerous side effects. Many of the pesticides have been associated with health and environmental issues. The numerous negative health effects that have been associated with chemical pesticides include dermatological, gastrointestinal, neurological, carcinogenic, respiratory, reproductive, and endocrine effects. Furthermore, high occupational, accidental, or intentional exposure to pesticides can result in hospitalization and death. (Nicolopoulou-Stamati, P., et al., Front. Public Health, 4: 148 2016) Residues of pesticides can be found in a great variety of everyday foods and beverages. Pesticides residues have also been detected in human breast milk samples, and there are concerns about prenatal exposure and health effects in children. 
     In addition, just as the effectiveness of antibiotics in the control of human disease is under threat due to the evolution of resistant strains of bacteria, the control of agricultural pests and crop diseases is threatened by the evolution of pesticide resistance, affecting insecticides, herbicides, parasiticides and fungicides. (5) 
     Therefore, because pesticides have a high toxicity profile and are less efficacious due to increased resistance, there is a need to find alternatives. Once such alternative can in some aspects be referred to as a new class of less toxic pesticides called biocides or biopesticides. What is needed are new biocides, biopesticides or other less toxic pesticides capable of repelling certain animals and insects, and/or killing certain insects and internal parasites. Such pesticides are needed that do not present any known risks to humans or the environment. Such unmet needs are addressed by the instant disclosure.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     I. Definitions 
     It should be appreciated that this disclosure is not limited to the compositions and methods described herein as well as the experimental conditions described, as such may vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing certain embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting, since the scope of the present disclosure will be limited only by the appended claims. 
     Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. References to techniques employed herein are intended to refer to the techniques as commonly understood in the art, including variations on those techniques or substitutions of equivalent techniques that would be apparent to one skilled in the art. Although any compositions, methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention. All publications mentioned are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
     In describing the presently disclosed subject matter, it will be understood that a number of techniques and steps are disclosed. Each of these has individual benefit and each can also be used in conjunction with one or more, or in some cases all, of the other disclosed techniques. Accordingly, for the sake of clarity, this description will refrain from repeating every possible combination of the individual steps in an unnecessary fashion. Nevertheless, the specification and claims should be read with the understanding that such combinations are entirely within the scope of the invention and the claims. 
     The use of the terms “a,” “an,” “the,” and similar referents in the context of describing the presently claimed invention (especially in the context of the claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context. 
     Recitation of ranges of values herein are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. 
     Use of the term “about” is intended to describe values either above or below the stated value in a range of approx. +/−10% by weight; in other embodiments the values may range in value either above or below the stated value in a range of approx. +/−5% by weight; in other embodiments the values may range in value either above or below the stated value in a range of approx. +/−2% by weight; in other embodiments the values may range in value either above or below the stated value in a range of approx. +/−1% by weight. The preceding ranges are intended to be made clear by context, and no further limitation is implied. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g., “such as”) provided herein, is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention unless otherwise claimed. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any non-claimed element as essential to the practice of the invention. 
     As used herein, percentages relating to compositions and components thereof are given as weight percentages, unless otherwise specified. As a non-limiting example, a composition comprising 50% by weight essential oil would owe half of its weight to the essential oil in the composition. It is to be understood, however, that references to diluents refer to volume. As a non-limiting example, 1 part concentrate to 20 parts diluent would refer to 1 volumetric unit of concentrate to be combined with 20 volumetric units of diluent. 
     The term “comprising”, which is synonymous with “including” “containing” or “characterized by” is inclusive or open-ended and does not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps. “Comprising” is a term of art used in claim language which means that the named elements are essential, but other elements can be added and still form a construct within the scope of the claim. 
     As used herein, the phrase “consisting of” excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified in the claim. When the phrase “consists of” appears in a clause of the body of a claim, rather than immediately following the preamble, it limits only the element set forth in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole. 
     As used herein, the phrase “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of a claim to the specified materials or steps, plus those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed subject matter. 
     With respect to the terms “comprising”, “consisting of”, and “consisting essentially of”, where one of these three terms is used herein, the presently disclosed and claimed subject matter can include the use of either of the other two terms. 
     As used herein, the term “and/or” when used in the context of a listing of entities, refers to the entities being present singly or in combination. Thus, for example, the phrase “A, B, C, and/or D” includes A, B, C, and D individually, but also includes any and all combinations and subcombinations of A, B, C, and D. 
     As used herein, the terms “repel”, “inhibit”, “suppress”, “repress”, “control”, and grammatical variants thereof are used interchangeably and refer to an activity whereby pest (e.g., arthropods, internal parasites, external parasites, and the like) activity and/or viability is reduced below that observed in the absence of a composition of the presently disclosed subject matter. In some embodiments, pest control that results in repels or inhibits results in a decrease in the presence and/or survivability of an arthropod or insect in an environment or on a subject. It is to be understood that the acts described above can be applied to any life cycle of a pest. 
     As used herein, the term “killing” refers to the act of causing the death of pests (e.g., arthropods, internal parasites, external parasites, and the like), wherein this act can occur as a result of administration of compositions described herein. In this manner, any composition resulting in killing can be described with the suffix “-cide”. It is to be understood that this act can be applied to any life cycle of a pest.

     In an aspect, the compositions disclosed herein may be used as insecticides, nematicides, anthemlminthics, repellents, and parasiticides for pests, as described herein. In additional aspects, the compositions disclosed herein may provide antimicrobial uses including, but not limited to, bactericides, antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals, and herbicides. In such aspects, the compositions disclosed herein are effective in controlling pests, as described herein, in humans, animals, and crops. The components of the compositions disclosed herein can have an additive effect. The components of the compositions disclosed herein may further relate to a synergistic effect, wherein the combination of components within compositions of the present disclosure comprise synergistic effects with regards to the above disclosed uses. In such aspects, controlling pests in humans, animals, and crops comprises repelling, killing, and/or resisting one or more pests. The components of compositions disclosed herein may also comprise additive and synergistic effects concerning miscibility and stability of a composition. In such aspects, a combination of components may allow a composition to maintain a homogeneous solution for extended periods of time, as shown in  FIGS.  1 A- 1 B . Extended periods of time may comprise time spans necessary for storage and use of compositions disclosed herein including, but not limited to, about 4 hours up to about 1 week. Maintenance of a homogeneous solution may result in improved performance of compositions disclosed herein compared to expected results, as shown in  FIG.  2    and  FIGS.  3 A- 3 B . Compositions with enhanced homogeneity and stability may comprise emulsifiers, surfactants, solvents, and combinations thereof, as described in the current disclosure. 
     In aspects of the invention, the choice of components to be included in an exemplary composition is dependent on the application and its accompanying factors. Such factors may include, but are not limited to, presence of crops or other plants, humans, and/or animals in the application area, species of pest to be controlled, quantity of pests to be controlled, and other such factors. In more extreme applications (e.g. no plants, humans, and/or animals in area with large number of pests), a composition using a higher concentration of active ingredients (e.g. essential oils, etc.) may be used. In applications requiring more caution (e.g. crops, humans, and/or animals in the area with low number of pests), compositions utilizing a higher concentration of non-active ingredients (e.g. inert ingredients) may be used. 
     B. Methods of Use of Compositions Comprising Essential Oils 
     Also provided herein are methods of repelling, killing and/or resisting one or more pests, as described herein. In such aspects, it is to be appreciated that the compositions as described above are capable of repelling, killing, and/or resisting pests in any life stage of the pests (i.e. egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages). Such methods can in some embodiments include providing a biocide, pesticide, or parasiticide composition comprising essential oils of any of the above disclosed subject matter, and administering the biocide, pesticide, or parasiticide composition to a subject or location in need of treatment. In other aspects, methods can include providing insecticides, nematicides, anthelminthics, repellents, and parasiticides for pests, as described herein. In additional aspects, the compositions disclosed herein may provide antimicrobial uses including, but not limited to, bactericides, antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals, and herbicides. In such aspects, the compositions disclosed herein are effective in controlling pests in humans, animals, and crops. In such aspects, controlling pests in humans, animals, and crops comprises repelling, killing, and/or resisting one or more pests. In some aspects, a biocide, pesticide, or parasiticide is administered through a feed or foodstuff consumed by the subject, optionally a human or animal. In additional aspects, a biocide, pesticide, or parasiticide composition comprising essential oils may be administered through a variety of means known in the art including, but not limited to, sprinkler or misting systems, spray bottles, misters, foggers, backpack sprayers, truck-mounted sprayers, towed sprayers, trailer-mounted sprayers, handheld sprayers, aerial sprayers, oilers, rubs, and other such methods known in the art. 
     In an aspect of the invention, the compositions as described above may exhibit a selectivity for pests including but not limited to arthropods (e.g., insects, arachnids, and other such arthropods), internal and external parasites (e.g., nematodes, helminths, protozoa, and other such parasites), and a variety of other pests known in the art that does not apply to humans and other animals. Moreover, the compositions described herein are not toxic to humans and other animals. This can be attributed to the method of functionality of the compositions described herein. The compositions of the current invention first dissolve the exoskeleton of a target pest before then targeting hormone receptors present in the pest to effectively repel, kill, control, and/or resist the pest. The compositions also act by binding to biochemical receptors in the pest. Importantly, the receptors targeted by the compositions are not present in humans or other animals, or are present in a lesser extent or different form than in pests targeted by the compositions disclosed herein. This effect decreases the toxicity of the current invention in view of pesticides currently on the market. 
     Also provided herein are methods of treating locations inhabited or used by people or animals, the methods comprising providing a composition of any of the above subject matter, and applying the composition in, on, around or near the locations to be treated, whereby pests in or near the premises are repelled and/or killed. Such locations to be treated include but are not limited to homes, apartment buildings, bakeries, beverage plants, bottling facilities, breweries, cafeterias, candy plants, canneries, cereal processing and manufacturing plants, dairy barns, poultry facilities, stock yards, flour mills, food processing plants, frozen food plants, homes, hospitals, hotels, houses, industrial buildings, kennels, kitchens, laboratories, manufacturing facilities, mausoleums, meat processing and packaging plants, meat and vegetable canneries, motels, nursing homes, office buildings, restaurants, schools, stores, supermarkets, warehouses and similar structures, building foundations, dairy facilities, drive-in restaurants, drive-in theaters, golf courses, parks, playgrounds, poultry houses, recreational areas, schools, urban areas, lawns, landscape areas, trees, turf, areas around bodies of water, zoos, and other such locations. 
     C. Pests to be Repelled, Killed, and/or Resisted

     The compositions described herein can be used against internal and external parasites. As a non-limiting example, Coccidiosis, a disease caused by infections by protozoan parasites of the genus  Eimeria,  is an important potential cause of economic loss in domestic animals and birds, particularly those raised or kept under intensive conditions. For example, cattle, sheep, pigs and rabbits may be affected, but the disease is especially important in poultry, in particular chickens. The poultry disease is generally spread by the birds picking up the infectious organism in droppings on contaminated litter or ground or by way of food or drinking water. The disease is manifested by hemorrhage, accumulation of blood in the ceca, passage of blood to the droppings, weakness and digestive disturbances. The disease often terminates in the death of the animal but the fowl which survive severe infections have had their market value substantially reduced as a result of the infection. Administration of a compositions described herein, preferably by combination with poultry feed, is effective in repelling, killing, and/or controlling the internal parasites causing coccidiosis. The compositions are effective against both the cecal form (caused by  E. tenella ) and the intestinal forms (principally caused by  E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima  and  E. necatrix ). 
     As previously discussed, the above examples of pests are non-limiting. The compositions disclosed herein are effective in repelling, killing, and/or controlling a large variety of pests known in the art. The above is merely provided to partially illuminate the large variety. 
     D. Subjects to be Administered Compositions 
     In some embodiments, compositions as described herein may be administered to a subject in need thereof. In such an aspect, a subject to be treated or administered a disclosed composition is desirably a vertebrate, although it is to be understood that the principles of the disclosed subject matter indicate that the compositions and methods are effective with respect to invertebrate and to all vertebrate species, including mammals, such as domestic animals, livestock animals, companion animals, rodents, etc., which are intended to be included in the term “subject”. Moreover, a mammal is understood to include any mammalian species in which treatment is desirable, particularly agricultural and domestic mammalian species. In such aspects, a composition, as described above, may be administered to a subject to control pests that may affect the subject. In such aspects, the pests may be arthropods, helminths, and/or internal parasites. Pests may affect the subject externally or internally. 
     The disclosed methods and treatments are particularly useful in the treatment of warm-blooded vertebrates. Thus, the presently disclosed subject matter concerns mammals and birds. In such aspects, an exemplary method of treatment may utilize combining a composition comprising an essential oil, as described above, with a food or foodstuff to then be consumed by the subject, though other methods of treatment may be utilized, as known in the art. 
     More particularly, provided herein is the treatment of mammals such as humans, as well as those mammals of importance due to being laboratory animals for modeling human diseases and conditions (such as mice, rats and pigs), endangered (such as Siberian tigers), of economic importance (animals raised on farms for consumption by humans), and/or social importance (animals kept as pets or in zoos) to humans, for instance, carnivores other than humans (such as cats and dogs), swine (pigs, hogs, and wild boars), ruminants (such as cattle, oxen, sheep, giraffes, deer, goats, bison, and camels), and horses. Also provided is the treatment of birds, including the treatment of those kinds of birds that are endangered, kept in zoos, as well as fowl, and more particularly domesticated fowl, i.e., poultry, such as turkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, and the like, as they are also of economic importance to humans. Also provided is the treatment of fish, including fish in commercial aquaculture operations, as well as ornamental fish in home, professional, and commercial aquaria. 
     Also of particular interest are the treatment of premises inhabited or used by people, crops, or animals. These include homes, apartment buildings, bakeries, beverage plants, bottling facilities, breweries, cafeterias, candy plants, canneries, cereal processing and manufacturing plants, dairy barns, poultry facilities, stock yards, flour mills, food processing plants, frozen food plants, homes, hospitals, hotels, houses, industrial buildings, kennels, kitchens, laboratories, manufacturing facilities, mausoleums, meat processing and packaging plants, meat and vegetable canneries, motels, nursing homes, office buildings, restaurants, schools, stores, supermarkets, warehouses and similar structures, building foundations, dairy facilities, drive-in restaurants, drive-in theaters, golf courses, parks, playgrounds, poultry houses, recreational areas, schools, urban areas, lawns, landscape areas, trees, turf, areas around bodies of water, and zoos. 
     In an aspect, premises inhabited by crops relate to agriculture. In such an aspect, protection of agricultural premises may further relate to the treatment of crops and premises including, but not limited to, field, forage, plantation, glasshouse, orchard and vineyard crops, of ornamentals and of plantation and forest trees, for example, cereals (such as maize, wheat, rice, sorghum), cotton, tobacco, vegetables and salads (such as beans, cole crops, curcurbits, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and peppers), field crops (such as potato, sugar beet, ground nuts, soyabean, oil seed rape), sugar cane, grassland and forage (such as maize, sorghum, lucerne), plantations (such as of tea, coffee, cocoa, banana, oil palm, coconut, rubber, spices), orchards and groves (such as of stone and pip fruit, citrus, kiwifruit, avocado, mango, olives and walnuts), vineyards, ornamental plants, flowers and shrubs under glass and in gardens and parks, forest trees (both deciduous and evergreen) in forests, plantations, nurseries, and the like. The compositions described herein are also valuable in the protection of timber (standing, felled, converted, stored or structural) from attack by sawflies (e.g. Urocerus) or beetles (e.g. scolytids, platypodids, lyctids, bostrychids, cerambycids, anobiids), or termites, for example, Reticulitermes spp., Heterotermes spp., Coptotermes spp., and other such pests known in the art and described herein. They have applications in the protection of stored products such as grains, fruits, nuts, spices and tobacco, whether whole, milled or compounded into products, from moth, beetle and mite attack. Also protected are stored animal products such as skins, hair, wool and feathers in natural or converted form (e.g. as carpets or textiles) from moth and beetle attack; also stored meat and fish from beetle, mite and fly attack.

     Additional compositions comprising the same or different blends of one or more essential oils, and optionally, surfactants, emulsifiers, solvents, additives, and/or inerts of the same or different concentrations have been described in the foregoing specification. 
     Example 2 
     Examples 3 and 4 from Table 2 represent exemplary commercial product concentrates. These concentrates were individually diluted with water at a rate of 3% vol/vol concentrate to water. As shown in  FIGS.  1 A and  1 B , the concentrate from Example 4 mixed spontaneously to give a milky emulsion and stayed mixed as an emulsion for at least 8 hours after dilution. The three commercial products shown in  FIGS.  1 A and  1 B  did not mix well and separated within 5 minutes of addition. 
     Example 3 
     Compositions disclosed herein were prepared. For example, a composition described in Table 2, Example 4 was prepared by adding geraniol (1-40 g), cornmint oil (1-40 g), clove oil (1-40 g), and ethyl lactate (10-70 g) together and stirring until combined. Polyglyceryl oleate (0.5-3 g) was added, followed by sodium cocoate (3-20 g) and sodium lauryl sulfate (3-20 g). The mixture was stirred until combined. 
     The composition displayed increased homogeneity and stability in solution compared to other brands known in the art, as shown for Table 2, Example 4 in  FIGS.  1 A- 1 B . In this example the composition was diluted with water at a rate of 1-8 ounces of concentrate to 1 gallon of diluted solution. Samples of pests were treated with compositions according to the current disclosure by placing the pests into a container and spraying with the diluted solution. Samples of bed bugs treated with compositions of the current invention showed only about a 2 percent survival rate compared to a 76 percent survival rate afforded by other brands, as shown in  FIG.  2   . Samples of ants treated with compositions of the current invention showed only about a 10 percent survival rate compared to a 51 percent survival rate afforded by other brands, as shown in  FIG.  2   . 
     A variety of additional pests of varying life stages (e.g. egg, larva, pupa, and adult) were selected to be sprayed with a composition of the current invention. Cockroaches, flies, and litter beetles (larvae and adults) were sprayed with the composition and showed quick expiration after about 30 seconds following administration, as shown in  FIGS.  3 A  (initial spray) and  3 B (time elapsed). 
     Example 4 
     The concentrate formulation from Table 2, Example 4 was placed in a fogger without dilution, constituting an ultra-low volume (ULV) application, (London Fogger MAG ULV used), and an area inhabited by mosquitoes was fogged with the concentrate formulation at a rate of about 6 oz up to about 10 oz per acre. At least a 70% reduction of mosquito population was observed.
