About 70 plant extracts were tested for their ability to repel the attacks of blood-sucking arthropods. It was found that a CO2 extract of the seeds of the Mediterranean plant Vitex agnus castus (monk's pepper) can be used as a spray to keep away especially Ixodes ricinus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks from animals and humans for at least 6 h. In addition mosquitoes, biting flies and fleas are also repelled for about 6 h.
对约70种植物提取物进行了测试,以评估它们抵御吸血节肢动物攻击的能力。结果发现,地中海植物牡荆(贞节树)种子的二氧化碳提取物可用作喷雾剂,能使蓖麻硬蜱和血红扇头蜱远离动物和人类至少6小时。此外,对蚊子、厩螫蝇和跳蚤也有大约6小时的驱避作用。
