Differences in the repellence of R.<i> dominica</i> were found between the concentrations of 0.1%-1% among all the tested substances in each time interval. This difference ranged from 5.0%-52.92%. All substances used in the tests had a strong repellent effect on S. <i>granarius</i> (30%-100%). There were differences in the repellency of S. <i>granarius</i> between 0.1%-1% concentration in most of the tested substances in each time interval, but they were not as large as for R. <i>dominica.</i>.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The most interesting results were obtained concerning the relationship: the lower tested substance concentration caused a much stronger repellent effect of R. <i>dominica</i> and S. <i>granarius.</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":50970,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41123272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
