Three botanical natural repellents, Swamp Buddy Bug Chaser (AI 12% plant-based essential oils), All Sport (AI plant-based essential oils, benzophenone-3, octinoxate, and octisalate), and Geraniol (AI 25% geraniol oil and lemongrass extract) were evaluated at a field site in Elkton, Florida, to determine the protection time provided against Psorophora ferox, Aedes atlanticus, and Ae. mitchellae. These three products provided different protection times against biting mosquitoes. Geraniol provided the longest protection time from mosquito bites (4 h), followed by All Sport (1.5 h) and Swamp Buddy Bug Chaser (1 h). This study provides the first information about botanical insect repellents against these floodwater mosquito species.
在佛罗里达州埃尔克顿的一个野外场地，对三种植物性天然驱蚊剂进行了评估，分别是Swamp Buddy Bug Chaser（活性成分12%植物性精油）、All Sport（活性成分植物性精油、二苯甲酰甲烷、桂皮酸盐和二乙氨羟苯甲酰）和香叶醇（活性成分25%香叶醇油和柠檬草提取物），以确定它们对凶猛库蚊、大西洋伊蚊和米切尔伊蚊的防护时长。这三种产品对叮咬蚊子的防护时长各不相同。香叶醇提供的防蚊叮咬时长最长（4小时），其次是All Sport（1.5小时）和Swamp Buddy Bug Chaser（1小时）。本研究提供了关于植物性驱虫剂对这些洪水蚊种防护效果的首个信息。
