In this video step, we are joined by Professor James Logan as we take a closer look at repellents as a personal protection method for vector control, in particular topical and spatial repellents, as well as insecticide impregnated clothing.

In addition, we will learn about how repellents are developed and tested. Professor Logan is the director of ARCTEC, a word-leading independent centre for the evaluation and development of vector control technologies including repellents. Recommended active ingredients, their safety and longevity will also be covered in this step.
