How do eucalyptus’s natural oils repel pests in outdoor figurative installations?
Eucalyptus oil is a powerful natural pest repellent, making it an ideal solution for protecting outdoor figurative installations. The oil contains compounds like cineole and limonene, which are toxic to many insects but safe for humans and the environment. When applied to sculptures or art pieces, the strong aroma of eucalyptus oil deters pests such as mosquitoes, ants, and beetles without harming the artwork. Additionally, its antimicrobial properties help prevent mold and fungal growth, further preserving the integrity of outdoor installations. This eco-friendly method is increasingly popular among artists and conservators seeking sustainable pest control options.
