A field study to compare a formulation containing 40% deet (N,N-diethyl-3-methyl benzamide) in ethanol (Bushman™) and a battery-powered fan emanator with a chemical strip containing 31.2% metofluthrin (OFF!® Clip-On™) was conducted at Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia, in February 2016. The 40% deet provided 100% protection against mosquitoes for 5 h until tests ceased, while the OFF! Clip-On device provided only 42.2–60.8% protection against Aedes vigilax during the same period.
