Neem cream was used as mosquito repellent to provide protection against Aedes albopictus, Ae. aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, Anopheles culicifacies and An. subpictus mosquitoes. The application of neem cream on exposed body parts @2.0 gm/person showed 78 (range 65-95), 89 (range 66-100) and 94.4 (range 66-100) per cent protection against Aedes, Culex and Anopheles mosquitoes respectively. Significant difference was observed between neem cream treated and untreated group of population for Aedes mosquitoes (p < 0.001). Application of neem cream was found to be a safe and suitable alternative to insecticide impregnated coils for personal protection against mosquitoes and one application was 68% effective for four hours.
印楝乳膏被用作驱蚊剂，以防止白纹伊蚊、埃及伊蚊、致倦库蚊、嗜人按蚊和伪杂鳞库蚊叮咬。在暴露的身体部位涂抹印楝乳膏，每人2.0克，对伊蚊、库蚊和按蚊的防护率分别为78%（范围65%-95%）、89%（范围66%-100%）和94.4%（范围66%-100%）。在伊蚊方面，观察到涂抹印楝乳膏的人群组与未涂抹的人群组之间存在显著差异（p<0.001）。发现涂抹印楝乳膏是一种安全且合适的替代杀虫剂浸渍蚊香的个人防蚊方法，一次涂抹在四小时内的有效率为68%。
