Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of Invention
- The present invention relates to liquid repellant compositions, a method of repelling animals and a method of manufacture of a repellant composition.
- 2. Description of Prior Art
- Various types of repellant compositions are well known in the art. The nature of the repellant composition will vary depending upon the species of animal, bird or insect which it is intended to repel. Many of the known repellants are based on man made chemicals and for this reason, are not considered desirable for ecological reasons. Many repellant compositions have also been proposed which are environmentally friendly in that they utilize naturally occurring ingredients. Among such repellants are those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,455,304 which teaches the use of a composition for repelling birds. This bird repelling composition includes a finely divided garlic constituent and a finely divided cayenne pepper constituent. The patentee notes that neither black pepper nor white pepper is suitable for use. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 4,820,517 shows pepper extract has been also used as an insecticide.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,795,637 teaches the use of a rodent repellant powder which uses a thujone oil with a powder which can be selected from a number of different products including tobacco dust, pepper powder, sulphur powder, etc. The thujone oil is derived from the cedar tree and is a natural repellant.
- More recently, U.S. Pat. No. 6,159,474 has shown that a composition providing a finely divided powder having essential oils of black pepper, capsicum and an oleoresin can be an effective repellant against a wide of animals such as dogs, cats, raccoons, skunks, mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, etc. The disclosure in U.S. Pat. No. 6,159,474 is hereby incorporated by reference into this specification as if fully set forth in its entirety.
- However, the dry repellent formula of U.S. Pat. No. 6,159,474 is limited in its application because it can not be used on vertical or ceiling surfaces, applied in difficult to reach locations, or utilized on surfaces where the granules can be hazardous, such as sidewalks, patios, paths, and other walkways.
- Until the present invention, a liquid formulation of the composition of essential oils of black pepper, capsicum and an oleoresin was not successful. There were two major problems with making a liquid formulation. First was solubility. The essential oils and oleoresin do not ordinarily mix well in an aqueous solution. The inventors of the present invention succeeded in identifying appropriate emulsifiers and suspension agents that would solubilize the active ingredients and also be non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
- Furthermore, the inventors also succeeded in creating a liquid repellant comprising the above essential oils and oleoresins together with one or more adhesive composition which surprisingly increased the longevity of the liquid formulation and made the invention useful in areas where the prior art dry only repellant was not effective.
- Until now there has not been an adequate animal repellant formulation containing essential oils and oleoresins that was capable of being applied as a liquid and was also environmentally safe and non-toxic.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid repellant which utilizes naturally occurring ingredients and has long-lasting effectiveness.
- It is a further object of the present invention according to the preceding object and in which the naturally occurring ingredients are readily available.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a liquid repellant using naturally occurring ingredients and which repellant is effective against animals and which repellant has minimal toxicity.
- It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a method for naturally repelling both domestic and other animals having an olfactory capability.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacture of a repellant having relatively non-toxic ingredients which can be readily carried out at a reasonable cost.
- It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a liquid repellant which is long lasting, environmentally friendly and can be applied to surfaces not readily susceptible to treatment by the prior art dry only repellent.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a liquid repellant composition comprising between about 0.05% and about 2% by weight of an essential oil component selected from the group consisting of the essential oils of black pepper and the essential oil of capsicum, between about 0.1% and about 10% by weight of an oleoresin component selected from the group consisting of the oleoresins of black pepper and capsicum, an antioxidant in an amount sufficient to stabilize the oleoresin and essential oil, an effective amount of an emulsifier, a thickening agent, an adhesive, and the remainder water.
- In an alternate embodiment, the present invention provides a liquid repellant composition comprising between about 0.05% to about 2% by weight of an essential oil selected from the group consisting of the essential oils of black pepper and capsicum, between about 0.1% and about 10% by weight of an oleoresin component selected from the group consisting of the oleoresins of black pepper and capsicum and between about 0.1% and about 10% by weight of an oleoresin of rosemary as an antioxidant in an amount sufficient to stabilize the oleoresin and essential oil, an effective amount of an emulsifier selected from the group consisting of glycerol monostearate, Mapeg®, polysorbate 80 and Atmos® 300, Kelgum® as a thickening agent, a polyvinyl acetate adhesive, and the remainder water.
- It has been surprisingly found that a liquid repellant composition of the type described which incorporates an appropriate adhesive or other composition providing adhesive properties not only retains the liquid repellant composition effectively on contacted surfaces but also extends residual repellant power over extended periods of time. Adhesives known or believed to be effective for the present invention include polyvinyl acetate adhesives, glues such as Elmer's® glue and Titebond II®, and latex polymer adhesives. Other compositions include latex paint and the like. Water-soluble polyvinyl acetate adhesives are preferred for the present invention.
- These and other objects of the present invention, as well as many of the attendant advantages thereof, will become more readily apparent when reference is made to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
- In describing a preferred embodiment of the invention specific terminology will be resorted to for the sake of clarity. However, the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific terms so selected, and it is to be understood that each specific term includes all technical equivalents which operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose.
- In its broadest aspects, the liquid repellant of the present invention is adapted to be used for a wide variety of animal species. As such, for the animal species, it can be utilized for both domestic and wild animals which have an olfactory capability, including such animals as dogs, cats, deer, skunks, raccoons, groundhogs, gophers, etc. Use of the repellant has also been found to be effective against some species of birds, including, for example, pigeons, geese, etc.
- The composition utilizes, in combination, two different active ingredients; an oleoresin selected from the group consisting of black pepper and capsicum, and an essential oil of either black pepper or capsicum. Black pepper is classified as the genus Piper, species Piper Nigrum, and is the product of a shrub grown in a hot climate. The plant bears a small berry which is picked before it ripens and then dried.
- The chemical compound which is responsible for the black pepper flavor is piperine. Piperine is soluble in alcohol, chloroform, ether, benzene and water. Piperine is not very reactive unless in a solution.
- The present invention may use two components of the black pepper, both of which are commercially available. Thus, the present invention may utilize, as two of the chemically active ingredients, an oleoresin selected from the group consisting of black pepper and capsicum, and also an essential oil of either black pepper or capsicum.
- In discovery of the formulation of the present invention, two problems in the art had to be overcome. The first problem to be overcome was the solubility of the essential oils and oleoresins in water. Since these materials do not mix easily, appropriate emulsifiers and suspending agents needed to be identified. This was particularly difficult with concentrate formulations where the essential oil and oleoresin contents are high. The second problem was trying to increase the effectiveness and longevity of the product. The prior art dry product used lard to keep the oils from volatilizing. Lard will not work in a liquid formulation.
- The amount of the essential oil and oleoresin components may be varied and it is well within the skill of one knowledgeable in the art to so do. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the oleoresin will be present in an amount of between about 0.1 to about 10% by weight of the composition and preferably between about 0.25% and about 2.25% in even more preferred embodiments, would be present in a range of between about 1.0% and about 1.5% by weight. The oleoresin preferably has at least about 500,000 scoville heat units and more preferably in excess of about 1,000,000 scoville heat units. The essential oil is preferably present in a weight percentage of between about 0.05 and about 2% or preferably between about 0.1% and about 0.75% and even more preferably, between about 0.4% and about 0.6% by weight.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention include the use of other components in the composition. Thus, in one preferred embodiment, one may add the oleoresin of rosemary. Rosemary is an evergreen shrub of the mint family Labiatae and is classified as genus Rosmarinus species Rosmarinus Officinalis. The plant is widely used as an herb and is also used in perfumes. The use of the oleoresin of rosemary is desirable for providing a longer lasting effect to the repellant composition. In this respect, the oleoresin of rosemary functions as an antioxidant to stabilize the oleoresins and essential oils. For example, the oleoresin of black pepper will normally oxidize within 2 weeks if it is not stabilized.
- The percentage of the oleoresin of rosemary should be used in an amount sufficient to perform its function as an antioxidant while too large an amount of rosemary will tend to neutralize the active repellant components. In general, the oleoresin of rosemary would be present in an amount of between about 0.01% and about 0.25% by weight and most preferably is present in an amount of between about 0.04% and about 0.07% by weight.
- Without being limited to any particular theory, the composition of the present invention appears to act on the sinuses of the animal. In particular, it is believed that the essential oils provide an olfactory deterrent. Should the animal then attempt to taste the material, the oleoresins of capsicum and black pepper will reinforce the linkage between the smell and the undesirability of the same.
- To assist in solubilizing the essential oils, the present invention provides soybean oil in a range of about 2% to about 7% by weight. Other oils may be substituted for soybean oil, such as corn oil, mineral oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, fish oil, cottonseed oil, linseed oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, olive oil, safflower oil or other similar oils.
- Glycerol monostearate, Mapeg®, polysorbate 80, and Atmos® 300 are emulsifiers. Mapeg® is a mixture of polyethylene glycol esters of mono- and di-esters of various fatty acids. Atmos® 300 is also a mixture of mono- and di-esters of various fatty acids. Polysorbate 80 is otherwise known as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. Emulsifiers offer graduated hydrophilic to lipophilic surface active properties which make them useful as primary and secondary emulsifiers with stability over a wide range of formulating conditions. Lecithin may also be used as a natural emulsifier. It will be recognized by those skilled in the art that compositions such as polysorbate 80 or Mapeg® can be substituted by other similar formulations of esters of fatty acids.
- Thickening agents provide bulk by gelling or thickening the solution. Kelgum® is a mixture of xanthan gum and locust bean gum which is often used in thickening food products such as processed cheeses, cottage cheese, dressings, aspics and pâtés.
- Adhesives are used in the various embodiments of the present invention to help bind the formulation onto the surfaces it is sprayed on. This helps the formulation adhere to the sprayed surfaces and last longer in repelling animals in a specific area. Many different types of adhesives or glues can be used in the present invention. For example, glues such as Elmer's® Glue and Titebond II® can be used in a range of about 1% to about 20% by weight and preferably between about 8% and about 10% by weight for a ready-to-use product. Water-soluble polyvinyl acetate adhesives are the preferred adhesives, also in a range of about 1% to about 20% by weight in the ready-to-use product, preferably between about 8% and about 10% by weight, and most preferably about 9% by weight.
- The method of manufacturing the repellent can be accomplished as follows:
- A. Premix 1
-
-
- 1) Heat oleoresin of black pepper to 80° C. until it forms a liquid;
- 2) Add emulsifiers such as glycerol monostearate and polysorbate 80;
- 3) Cool to 50° C. and then add remaining oil, oleoresins and thickening agents (if necessary);
B) Premix 2 - 1) Add water;
- 2) Add water-soluble polyvinyl acetate adhesive; and
C) Combine Premix 1 and Premix 2.
- The compositions of the present invention may be dispensed in a conventional manner, and preferably from a standard pump-spray container. The composition is first shaken in applicator and then sprayed on the target. Alternatively, the aqueous repellant composition may be packaged in a pressurized container such as a conventional aerosol can or the like, utilizing an expandable gas, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) as a propellant in a well known manner. For optimum effectiveness, the repellant composition of this invention is sprayed directly on targeted area to the point of runoff, and allowed to dry. A second coat of repellant can be added.
