Abstract
A disposable pest entry barrier and open bottle cover is constructed in various shapes, such as conical or cylindrical, having a sidewall, a closed end and an opposite open end. The bottle cover is formed from a disposable material, such as cardboard or plastic. The bottle cover is coated or sprayed with a solution consisting primarily of lemongrass essential oil. This oil solution acts as a natural repellent and deters fruit flies and other contaminating pests from entering the open end of a bottle on which the bottle cover is placed.
