How does Citriodiol® repel insects?
Imagine a warm summer evening. A mosquito is flying through the air, using its highly sensitive antennae to detect chemical signals from potential hosts. The insect searches for telltale indicators of human presence: carbon dioxide from respiration, lactic acid from perspiration, and the complex mixture of volatile compounds that humans naturally emit.
When someone has applied citriodiol® to their skin, the mosquito’s hunting behavior is disrupted. As the insect approaches, the chemical signals it has been tracking become obscured and difficult to interpret. The citriodiol® creates a volatile barrier on the skin’s surface that effectively masks the attractive chemical cues that normally guide mosquitoes toward their targets.
As the mosquito enters the zone of citriodiol® molecules surrounding the treated skin, its olfactory receptors encounter compounds that interfere with normal sensory processing. The insect’s chemoreceptors detect the presence of para-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD), the active component of citriodiol®, which registers as an aversive stimulus. This sensory experience triggers an avoidance response in the insect.
Unable to properly locate its host and deterred by the unpleasant sensory signals, the mosquito moves away from the protected area. The treated individual remains protected from bites. This defensive compound originates from the lemon eucalyptus tree, which naturally produces citriodiol® as part of its own pest defense system. Through topical application, humans can utilize this plant-derived molecule to maintain protection against mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting arthropods for extended periods.
Basically most anti insect products produced by Primmed work in the same way by disrupting the receptors insects use to locate their ‘prey’.
