Abstract
⺠Seven personal products/devices were tested for repellency against mosquitoes. ⺠Essential oil-based wristbands, sticker, vitamin-B1 patch, and sonic device were not repellent. ⺠OFF!® Clip-On⢠Mosquito Repellent diffuser reduced biting pressure on arms and legs by over 90%. ⺠Terminix® ALLCLEAR® Sidekick diffuser reduced biting on arms and legs by over 90% and 80% respectively. ⺠OFF!® Clip-On⢠Mosquito Repellent and Terminix® ALLCLEAR® Sidekick reduced bites by both Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens.
