The present technology relates to film forming compositions comprising antimicrobial agents, as well as to methods of inhibiting bacterial growth, controlling the rate of release of an antimicrobial agent from a film forming polymer, coating a medical device, rendering the inner lumen of a medical device biofilm resistant, and treating a human or animal.

The present invention is directed to a method and a composition for producing and using a plant-based biocidal solution. The plant-based biocidal solution contains a bioactive material and a plant-based substance formed from the cellular material of a plant. The plant-based substance is capable of binding to the bioactive material. In some embodiments, the bioactive material is hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide can be added exogenously or generated endogenously. In accordance with further embodiments, the plant-based biocidal solution can be applied to a target. thereby impairing the target. In some embodiments, the target can be a pathogen. In accordance with another embodiment, the plant-based substance of the plant-based biocidal solution can form a microscopic cluster, a complex, or an aggregate for providing sufficient bioactive material to overcome the defense mechanism of the target.

The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes lemongrass, castor oil, cedarwood oil, geraniol, sodium laurel sulfate, and corn oil for repelling and killing mosquitos. In one aspect of the inventive compositions comprise Guatemalan lemongrass, Juniperus virginiana and cedarwood oil. Some compositions further comprise mint oil, e.g., and Montana mint oil. Compositions according to the inventive subject matter kill insects at multiple stages in their life cycle including adult insects, larvae, and disrupt the egg cycle. In another aspect, the inventive compositions repel insects and retain repellency and insecticidal potency over a longer period of time than other natural insect repellents.
