Mosquitoes pose significant health risks to populations around the world, particularly during monsoon seasons when their breeding increases due to heavy rainfall. The Earth's global temperature rise and the resulting increase in greenhouse gases contribute to the proliferation of mosquito populations, exacerbating the risk of insect-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, West Nile, Zika, Chikungunya, and lymphatic filariasis. Urbanization and industrialization have led to an increase in mosquito breeding sites and mosquito problems in populated areas. Mosquito repellents are essential in mitigating these health risks. DEET, Cyfluthrin, Permethrin, Pyrethroids, Picaridin, and Citronella are common active ingredients in mosquito repellent products.
These chemicals work by deterring or killing mosquitoes. Coils, sprays, creams and oils, and vaporizers are popular forms of mosquito repellents. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for plant-based repellents due to concerns about skin reactions and health issues associated with chemically derived repellents. Online sales channels and home care products have become increasingly popular, providing consumers with easy access to a wide range of mosquito repellent options. Construction activities and vector-borne diseases, such as dog heartworm, also contribute to mosquito populations. Climate change and insect population dynamics further complicate efforts to control mosquito populations.
As a result, mosquito repellent products remain an essential tool in protecting against mosquito-borne diseases.
