Bioactivities of cymol and essential oils of Cupressus sempervirens and Eucalyptus saligna against Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky and Tribolium confusum du Val

TL;DR: The results suggest that the essential oils from E. saligna and C. sempervirens may be used in grain storage against insect pests and produced a stronger repellent activity against the test insects than did cymol.

Fumigant and Contact Toxicities of Monoterpenes to Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and their Inhibitory Effects on Acetylcholinesterase Activity

TL;DR: Comparisons of contact and fumigant toxicities of eleven monoterpenes on two important stored products insects indicate that (−)-carvone, 1-8-cineole, cuminaldehyde, (l)-fenchone, and (−)-limonene could be effective biocontrol agents against S. oryzae and T. castaneum.

Toxicity of naturally occurring compounds of Lamiaceae and Lauraceae to three stored-product insects

TL;DR: These compounds may be suitable as fumigant activity against adults of Sitophilus oryzae, Rhyzopertha dominica and Tribolium castaneum because of their high volatility, effectiveness, and their safety.

Insecticidal, repellent, antimicrobial activity and phytotoxicity of essential oils: With special reference to limonene and its suitability for control of insect pests

TL;DR: Limonene is used as insecticide to control ectoparasites of pet animals, but it has activity against many insects, mites, and microorganisms, so its use in pest and weed control in organic agriculture after phytotoxicity on crop plants and, effects on non-target soil animals and natural enemies of pest have been investigated.

A method of computing the effectiveness of an insecticide

TL;DR: In order to make experimental studies comparable and statistically meaningful, the article recommends the following formula: per cent control = 100(X - Y)/X, which eliminates errors due to deaths in the control sample which were not due to the insecticide.

Insecticidal Properties of Several Monoterpenoids to the House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae), Red Flour Beetle (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), and Southern Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

TL;DR: House flies, Musca domestica, and their eggs were treated with 22 monoterpenoids to determine the topical, fumigant, and ovicidal activity of each compound, and toxicity differences involving the skeletal structure, amount of saturation, and associated functional groups of monoterapenoids were determined.
