    Q
    How to specifically use the Medina Orange Oil for ants, etc?
    A

    Medina Orange Oil is not a pesticide nor is it labeled for any specific insects. While it may slightly deter some insects and pests such as fire ants, it will only kill those insects that are sprayed directly during application.

     Foliar Solution: mix 2 oz. per gallon of water 
    Soil Drench: mix 4 oz. per gallon of water

    Q
    Is Medina Orange Oil used for termites?
    A

    Medina Orange Oil is not recommended to treat termites. Orange oil is said to have repellant tenancies, but will not be a good choice to eradicate termites. It is for other uses including foliar solutions, soil drenches, and cleaning solutions. Please visit our Termite control page. Please identify what type of termite you are treating for and then you will be able to better proceed to application needed.
