A pest control composition that includes an active component having between about 0.001 wt. % and about 10 wt. % of spearmint oil, between about 0.01 wt. % and about 10 wt. % of geranium oil, and between about 0.01 wt. % and about 10 wt. % of a third oil. The composition further includes a solvent, a carrier, and a surfactant, and the third oil may be cinnamon oil, cedarwood oil, and mixtures thereof.

A non-toxic unitary lice deterring and preventive headband is worn upon the scalp of a wearer. The headband does not use coatings or removable strips, or other reservoirs attached to the headband. The aromatic essential oils are preferably a 1.65% mixture by weight of citronella oil, rosemary oil, lemongrass oil and geranium oil, where the mixture is infused by further admixing in a resin of the styrene butadiene copolymer in an amount of 98.55% by weight. The raw plastic resin material, such as styrene butadiene copolymer, is first premixed and preheated into a malleable, pourable state, which is then admixed with the mixture of aromatic essential oils. The admixture of the plastic resin and aromatic essential oils is then injected into a headband-shaped mold The molded, admixed material is already prepared with lice deterring aromatic essential oils, when the molded, admixed plastic material is molded into a headband shape.

The invention provides compositions and methods related to selective inhibition of PPO11 and use for improving shelf life of a plant or parts thereof. In accordance with the invention, for example, compositions for topical application to a plant or part thereof, are provided that can reduce browning of the plant or part thereof to extend shelf life.

A slow-release silk thread and a method for preparing the slow-release silk thread are provided. The slow-release silk thread includes a substrate layer, a slow-release layer, and a protective layer. The slow-release layer is provided between the substrate layer and the protective layer. The slow-release layer includes porous microspheric particles in which a functional agent is adsorbed. The slow-release silk thread obtains a composite structure through the method and realizes slow release of the functional agent by taking advantage of an adsorption performance of a special granular powder, thereby prolonging effective duration of the functional agent.
