Textiles exhibiting character of repelling mosquitoes are called Mosquito-repelling textiles. Anti mosquito finish is applied to textiles which provide protection from the mosquitoes. In current era, use of ecofriendly and nature derived repellents products have received attention of large group of consumers for mosquito control. In this study, essential oil of thyme was evaluated for its repellency effects against malarial vectors using WHO Cone Test. Mosquito repellency was tested at different concentrations of thyme oil from 5 to 25% owf. β- Cyclodextrin was applied to fabric before oil applications as it is known for its hydrophilic as well as lyophillic affinity. Citric acid was used as cross-linking agent to bind the β- Cyclodextrin on the fabric substrate. The finding of the study shows that thyme oil has good mosquito repellency and application of βCyclodextrin increases effectiveness of mosquito repellency of textile material along wash durability.
