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.

The present invention is directed to antiviral compositions that provide efficacy against non-envelope viruses such as noroviruses. The antiviral compositions comprise an alkyl 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid and an effective amount of a sulfonated surfactant. The composition may be used as a topical on human skin, as a hand sanitizer or as a hard surface cleaning composition.

The present embodiments relates to method and an herbicide combination for controlling weed growth in turfgrass while reducing or suppressing phytotoxicity or bleaching, which include contacting the turfgrass with an herbicidally effective amount of (a) the herbicide combination of mesotrione and quinclorac, (b) at least one agronomically acceptable excipient; and (c) optionally, a third herbicide; wherein the quinclorac in the formulation is present in an amount effective to reduce or suppress the phytotoxic or bleaching effect of mesotrione, as compared with mesotrione alone. The present embodiments also provide a method and combination formulation of controlling weed growth in turfgrass while reducing bleaching using a three-component formulation as described herein.
