N,N-diethylphenylacetamide (DEPA) has repellent activity against hematophagous insects including mosquitoes, black flies, horse flies, muscoid flies, rat fleas, and ticks, as well as land leeches and cockroaches. The efficacy of DEPA is comparable to that of N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) in both laboratory and field tests. Toxicological studies indicate that DEPA is safe for human use. Different formulations as well as fabrics impregnated with DEPA are effective for personal protection from insect bites.
N,N-二乙基苯乙酰胺（DEPA）对包括蚊子、黑蝇、厩螫蝇、家蝇、鼠蚤和蜱虫在内的吸血昆虫，以及陆地水蛭和蟑螂具有驱避活性。在实验室和现场测试中，DEPA的功效与N,N-二乙基-3-甲基苯甲酰胺（避蚊胺）相当。毒理学研究表明，DEPA对人类使用是安全的。不同的制剂以及浸渍有DEPA的织物对个人预防昆虫叮咬有效。
