Abstract
Trevira CS knitted fabrics are treated with Eucalyptus oil and DEPA (N, N, Diethylphenylaccetamide) and evaluated for mosquito-repellent properties using Cage Test, Indoor Test, Field Test and assessment of fragrance decay. It is observed that Trevira CS fabrics treated with 15-30% Eucalyptus Oil exhibit good mosquito-repellency. Similarly, the fabric treated with 15% N, N-Diethylphenylacetamide (DEPA) exhibits good mosquito-repellency with a higher mean protection time.
