A formulation for repelling insects and arthropods comprises about 0.5% by weight to about 4.0% by weight of an active ingredient and an emulsifier. The active ingredient includes a mixture of one or more natural essential oils. A method for making the repellant formulation comprises forming an oil-in-water emulsion by mixing one or more of the natural essential oils into an aqueous solution including an emulsifier, homogenizing the oil-in-water emulsion, and adding a buffer to the emulsion for maintaining a pH of the emulsion at above about 7.5. The repellant formulation is used by applying an effective amount of the repellant formulation onto the skin or fur of a mammal, clothing or other surface.

An antimicrobial composition comprising extracts from a plurality of plants is provided. The plants are selected from the group consisting of woody plants; succulent plants; and/or grasses. The plurality of plants may include each of a woody plant; a succulent plant; and a grass. Also provided is a method of manufacturing an antimicrobial composition, the method including the step of combining extracts from a plurality of plants selected from the group consisting of woody plants, succulent plants, and/or grasses. A method of controlling a microorganism including the step of contacting the microorganism with the antimicrobial composition is further provided. The microorganism may be located within an air conditioning system.

A trichome and pistil maturing bud finisher plant treatment formula to which plants, pollinators, and humans respond favorably but which deters insects and contagions. The formulas include a series of edible spices claimed in specific ratios. The spices comprise food grade products manufactured for human consumption and specifically comprise Garlic, Ginger, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Clove, Black Pepper, Powdered Ancho Chili, Coriander, Cayenne, Cumin, Fenugreek, Nutmeg, and Oregano. In the bud finisher formula, these spices are mixed with potassium bicarbonate in a first container in relative quantities. Meanwhile, the bud finisher formula requires mixing sesame oil with apple cider vinegar, also in a particular ratio. The bud finisher formula matures pistils and trichomes. An alternative bud shield formula excludes the potassium bicarbonate and apple cider vinegar to also mature trichomes but matures pistils at a slower rate. After dilution the plant treatment formula is applied to all surfaces of the plant.
