The present disclosure relates to an insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition that includes a carrier oil and two or more essential oils for effectively controlling and/or killing insects, bacteria, and/or fungi. Some insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions comprise castor oil; a first oil selected from the group consisting of rosemary oil, thyme oil, clove oil, garlic oil, geraniol, peppermint oil, and cinnamon oil; and a second oil selected from the group consisting of rosemary oil, thyme oil, clove oil, garlic oil, geraniol, peppermint oil, and cinnamon oil, wherein in the first oil is different from the second oil. Compositions according to the present disclosure kill insects at multiple stages in their life cycle including adult insects, larvae, and disrupt the egg cycle. The insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions can effectively control insect, bacteria, and/or fungi and retain control and/or insecticidal, bactericidal, and/or fungicidal potency over a longer period of time than other natural insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control agents.

Disclosed is a coating with reversible wettability, the coating having a hydrophobic state wherein the anti-pathogen coating has a hydrophobic surface that repels at least one of bacteria, fungi, and viruses; and a hydrophilic state wherein the anti-pathogen coating has a hydrophilic surface that inactivates at least one of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, wherein the hydrophobic state switchable to the hydrophilic state by exposure to a first switching stimulus and the hydrophilic state switchable to the hydrophobic state by exposure to a second switching stimulus. This reversible wettability switch between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity can be repeated at least three times, which indicating the process for controlled repellent or inactivation of bacteria, fungi, or viruses can be converted at least three times.
