Uses2

  • For methyl eugenol (USEPA/OPP Pesticide Code: 203900) there are 0 labels match. /SRP: Not registered for current use in the U.S., but approved pesticide uses may change periodically and so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses./
  • Insect attractant; flavoring agent
  • Oriental fruit fly attractant.
  • MEDICATION (VET) **PEER REVIEWED**
  • Methyleugenol is used as a flavorant in commercial products at concentrations of 5 to 52 ppm. Methyleugenol is used in fragrances at a concentration of 0.002 to 0.3%.
