Deer damage: A review of repellents to reduce impacts worldwide
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-10)
Mammal herbivores, and specially deer, can cause severe damages to agriculture, producing economic losses. Repellents based on odor, visual and/or taste stimuli have been tested to minimize these damages, but their global ...
Mosquito Repellency of Polyester Nets Treated with Cyclodextrin/Repellent Complexes
(Tunisian Association of Textile Researchers, 2018-12)
Fabric treatments with β-Cyclodextrins (β-CD) have been studied for different applications as nanotechnologycal approaches to achieve functional textiles. In particular, repellents and insecticides have been incorporated ...
Repellence and toxicity of Schinus molle extracts on Blattella germanica
(Elsevier Science, 2007-06)
The biological activities of ethanol and petroleum ether extracts from leaves and fruits of Schinus molle against adults of Blattella germanica were examined by repellence test and topical application. All extracts produced ...
Novel organic repellent for leaf-cutting ants: tea tree oil and its potential use as a management tool
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019-09)
Leaf-cutting ants are insects of great economic importance which cause economic losses in numerous crops. Compounds that modulate behaviour, and among these natural repellents, show promise in integrated pest management ...

(Entomological Society of America, 2020-01-03)
The German cockroach, Blattella germanica L., is a hemimetabolous insect pest of economical and medical importance. N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) is an insect repellent whose effect on this species has received very ...
Fumigant insecticidal activity and repellent effect of five essential oils and seven monoterpenes on first-instar nymphs of Rhodnius prolixus
(Entomological Society of America, 2009-05)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the fumigant and repellent activity of five essential oils (from eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, mint, and orange oil) and seven monoterpenes (eucalyptol, geraniol, limonene, linalool, ...
Modulation of the behavioral and electrical responses to the repellent DEET elicited by the pre-exposure to the same compound in Blattella germanica
(Peer J Inc, 2016-06)
Insects under different stimuli from the environment modify behavioural responses due to changes in the sensitivity of neurons at the peripheral and/or at the central level of the nervous system. This phenomenon is called ...
