59 - Essential oil repellents as protection technologies against mosquitoes in a North Florida forest

Tuesday, March 4, 2025
4:10 PM – 4:20 PM AST
Location: 202
Abstract: Insecticide resistance is a persistent and growing threat that continues to reduce our stockpile of available chemical controls against pestiferous and nuisance mosquitoes. Here we evaluate several potential candidate essential oils as spatial repellents against mosquitoes in the field and compare them to one another - identifying strengths and weaknesses against forest dwelling mosquito species in a North Florida forest habitat.
