Abstract

Abstract : Ticks and mosquitoes are carriers of many diseases for humans and animals. Diseases carried by arthropods are increasing every year. Repellents are one of the effective means of preventing diseases transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes. The most common agents for treating clothing, nets and tents are synthetic repellents: N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), IR3535, picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus. To repel ticks, it is recommended to treat clothes with Permethrin. Essential oils can serve as an alternative to synthetic repellents. However, when using them, the disadvantage is their short duration of action. The article describes and compares synthetic repellents.
