An insect repellent is a substance applied to skin, clothing, or other surfaces which discourage insects (and arthropods in general) from landing or climbing on that surface. There are also insect repellent products based on sound production, particularly ultrasound (inaudibly high frequency sounds) or the sounds of natural enemies of various insects.
Common insect repellents include:
- citronella
- DEET
- Oil of lemon eucalyptus
- Picaridin or icaridin (a piperidine derivative)
Some insect repellents, particularly permethrin, are insecticides. Other insect repellents work instead by masking human scent, or by using a scent which insects naturally avoid.
