Repellency Rate

To confirm that the Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) guidelines are applicable for testing the effectiveness of mosquito repellents, these guidelines were used to test the efficacy and full protection times (CPT) of three repellents representative of mosquitoes: N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET), lemongrass and fennel oil. The repellency of lemongrass oil decreased over time, from 97.9% at 0 a.m. to 71.4% at 1 h and 57.7% at 2 h, as did the repulsion of fennel, from 88.6% at 0 a.m. to 61.2% at 1 h and 47.4. % at 2 h. On the other hand, the repulsion of DEET remained greater than 90% for 6 h. The DEET CPT (360 min) was much longer than the citronella CPT (10.5 min) and fennel oil (8.4 min). These results did not differ significantly from previous results, and therefore confirm that the KFDA guidelines are applicable for testing the effectiveness of mosquito repellents.
