Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure relates generally to the field of pesticide composition. In particular, the present disclosure provides compositions and formulations for controlling various indoor and outdoor pests. Also provided is a method for controlling indoor and outdoor pests. BACKGROUND The most numerous and successful animals on earth are undoubtedly insects. Despite some helpful species, many insects are a bane to humans. Many months of the year, people venturing outdoors are plagued by biting insects, such as mosquitoes, gnats, noseeums (biting midges), flies, ticks, head lice, fire ants, fleas, and other insects. The bites and stings inflicted by "biting" insects are often itchy, can become infected, and may prove fatal to the subj ects. Almost everyone has had the unpleasant experience of being bitten by a mosquito. Mosquito bites can cause skin irritation through an allergic reaction to the mosquito's saliva - this is what causes the red bump and itching. They are the vectors responsible for transmitting serious and life-threatening diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and lymphatic filariasis. Numerous devices, agents, compositions, and formulations are already reported in the literature and are commercially available, capable of repelling, killing, or reducing the number of pests such as mosquitoes, houseflies, cockroaches, etc. in a premise. However, these devices, agents/formulations still suffer from certain limitations such as being expensive, ineffective, and exhibiting certain side-effects such as irritation, allergy, uneasiness, reduction in oxygen content, etc. Therefore, it would be desirable to develop new and improved compositions that repel, kill, prevent, reduce, and control various indoor and outdoor pests, and overcome one or more problems associated with the conventional compositions/formulations thereof. The present disclosure satisfies the existing as well as other needs. SUMMARY The present disclosure addresses these and other unmet deficiencies inherent in the relevant pesticide arts and overcomes them by providing compositions/formulations that exhibit enhanced efficacy and economic significance. The present disclosure relates to a pesticide composition. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a pesticide composition for controlling indoor and outdoor pests, said composition includes: Pogostemon cablin in an amount ranging from about 0.05% to about 35% by weight of the composition; Citral in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 30% by weight of the composition; Thymol in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 30.0% by weight of the composition; Camphor in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 35% by weight of the composition; and rest is an excipient. The present disclosure further relates to a solid pesticide formulation for controlling indoor and outdoor pests, said formulation includes: Pogostemon cablin in an amount ranging from about 0.05% to about 35% by weight of the formulation; Citral in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 30% by weight of the formulation; Thymol in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 30.0% by weight of the formulation; Camphor in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 35% by weight of the formulation; and rest is an excipient. The present disclosure still further relates to a liquid or a semisolid pesticide formulation for controlling indoor and outdoor pests, said formulation includes: Pogostemon cablin in an amount ranging from about 0.05% to about 35% by weight of the formulation; Citral in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 30% by weight of the formulation; Thymol in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 30.0% by weight of the formulation; Camphor in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 35% by weight of the formulation; and rest is an excipient. The present disclosure also relates to a method for controlling indoor and outdoor pests. The method for controlling indoor and outdoor pests includes providing a pesticide composition including Pogostemon cablin in an amount ranging from about 0.05% to about 35% by weight of the composition; Citral in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 30% by weight of the composition; Thymol in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 30.0% by weight of the composition; Camphor in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 35% by weight of the composition; and rest is an excipient.
