Abstract
A eucalyptus-based insect repellent (PMD) was evaluated against Culico ides impunctatus in Scotland in comparison with deet. In human landing catches, both repellents still afforded 98% protection from biting 8 h after application of 0.5 ml to the forearm. A second trial looking a t protection between 8 and 10 h after repellent application showed 99. 5% protection for PMD and 97% for deer as compared with controls.
