Several mosquito repellents are currently in the market; however, most of these are not efficacious and eco-friendly. Recently, considerable research progress has been made to develop more pleasant, effective, and non-toxic to other species using herbal oils and formulations. Also, these herbal compositions are easily available and economic. Although, this existing herbal composition has been demonstrated to be effective and non-toxic to humans, they are more volatile and short lifespan of these compounds has necessitated further development of plant originated pesticides as alternative to chemical pesticides. In the current study, we have developed the various herbal formulations and showed that these formulations are effective mosquito repellents. The survey further showed that these repellents are pleasant with minimum allergic reactions.</p&gt;}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences}, author={Sheethal Bhat and Hariprasad Shetty}, year={2023}, month={Apr.}, pages={37 - 41} }
