water glass are currently applied on cotton fabric. The surface mass of cotton fabrics and

Add-on of treated of all samples are given in Table 13.2.

During the repellency test procedure, mostly mosquitos migrated to untreated fabric

and achieved a high efficacy. From Immortelle oil treated cotton, mosquitos migrated to

untreated cotton already at the very beginning of the applied test (I_5 – Initial efficacy =

80% and 70% after ½ hour). The same phenomenon happened with another treated cotton

(Figure 13.2). When cotton fabrics treated in combination with vibroactivated zeolites re-

sults were a little bit lower (I_5_Z_20 – Initial efficacy = 70% and 60% after ½ hour) but

when fabrics treated in combination Immortelle oil with Water glass the repellent activity

were incredible 100 %. Repellents efficacy for Aedes aegypti mosquito repellents on cotton

fabric were given in Table 13.3 and Figure 13.3.
