The maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most important pests of stored cereals. Because of the undesirable effects of conventional insecticides such as the presence of dangerous levels of residues and development of resistance, it has been necessary to look for new control alternatives such as botanical insecticides. The objective of this research was to determine under laboratory conditions the repellent effect of essential oils from Boldo (Peumus boldus), Laurel chileno (Laurelia sempervirens), and Tepa (Laureliopsis philippiana) singly and mixed in proportions of 1:1, 1:10, and 1:20. The main chemical compounds in the essential oil of L. sempervirens were Safrole (59.1[%]) and methyl-eugenol (28.4[%]). In L. philippiana, we identified Safrole (39.5[%]) and Linalool (34.4[%]), and in P. boldus, the most concentrated metabolites were Ascaridole (24.3[%]) and 1-8-cineole (14.8[%]). All treatments showed repellent activity, because they had a repellency index (IR) less than 1. In oils evaluated singly, the most repellency was obtained at 4.0 and 8.0[%]. Essential oil of L. philippiana produced 90[%] insect repellency (IR < 0.25). In the proportions of 1:1 and 1:10, the repellent effect increased because the treatments of 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0[%] showed IR values equivalent to 90[%]. In the proportion 1:20, the repellent effect decreased, and only 8.0 to 90[%] efficacy was attained. Mixing essential oils of P. boldus, L. sempervirens, and L. philippiana in proportions of 1:1 and 1:10, enhances the repellent effect against S. zeamais.
