ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an apparatus and a method for testing insect repellents that is derived from the behavior of mosquitoes in nature. The method is based on the displacement of mosquitoes from a place (cork) on a created habitat (corked-box) using a repellent substance. It does not require attractants, or blood-hungry mosquitoes, and it is appropriate for high throughput testing of different materials at the same time and in few hours.
