Pesticide emulsion concentrates containing natural or petroleum derived oils and methods of use

A method for reducing spray drift during pesticide spray application to control pests comprising:

• providing an aqueous pesticide concentrate comprising:
• from 5 to 90 weight percent of a pesticide;
• from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of a surfactant;
• from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of a naturally or petroleum derived oil;
• wherein the naturally or petroleum derived oil is dispersed as discrete droplets in the aqueous pesticide concentrate to form a stable oil-in-water emulsion with a mean droplet size from about 0.01 micron (μm) to about 20 μm;
• adding the aqueous pesticide concentrate to a spray tank containing water to form a stable emulsion;
• and
• spraying the stable emulsion to control one or more pests.
