Botanical. Broad-Spectrum. Built for the Real World.
ESSENTIALCIDE™
Essentialcide™ is a FIFRA 25(b)-exempt botanical insecticide concentrate designed for contact knockdown and short-term residual control—without synthetic residues, long reentry intervals, or complicated registrations. Formulated from essential oils listed in 40 CFR 152.25(f) Table 1 and powered by hemp sap, it offers commercial-grade performance using plant-based actives.
What Essentialcide is.
Why It Needed
to Be Defined
Essential oils provide rapid, broad-spectrum insect and mite control.
Hemp sap enhances adhesion, spread, and pest disruption through terpene synergy.
No synthetic synergists, no plastic carriers, no EPA registration required in most states.
This isn’t just a safer option—it’s a serious tool.
Why It Exists
Because most biopesticides are built for compliance, not control.
Because growers are tired of choosing between performance and safety.
Because pest pressure doesn’t wait for approvals.
Essentialcide™ was created to fill the gap: a high-performance alternative that works fast, fits regenerative systems, and respects the realities of field use.
What It Works On
- Aphids, whiteflies, thrips, spider mites, citrus psyllid, stink bugs, squash bugs, flea beetles, cabbage loopers, and more.
- Crops & Contexts: Citrus, vegetables, hemp, ornamentals, row crops, greenhouses, tunnels, gardens.
- Fungal & Bacterial Support (observational): Suppressive effect observed on powdery mildew and citrus canker when rotated or tank-mixed.

The Bottom Line
Essentialcide
Regulatory Position
Essentialcide™ qualifies for exemption under FIFRA 25(b). All essential oils used are listed in 40 CFR 152.25(f), Table 1. Hemp extract is recognized in most 25(b)-adopting states as an “active substance of a plant.”
- No federal EPA registration
- Minimal REI (reentry interval)
- No synthetic residues
