1. A method of repelling an insect, comprising:
applying a repelling composition to a surface, the repelling composition comprising 78.0 to 88.0 wt. % of a base oil selected from the group consisting of white oil, polyalphaolefins, glycols, polyalkylene glycols, alkylated naphthalenes, alkylated benzenes, esters and combinations thereof, 5.0 to 12.0 wt. % of a thickening agent, 5.0 to 10.0 wt. % of a tackifying polymer, 0.025 to 0.10 wt. % of a repellent agent selected from the group consisting of capsaicin, piperine, allyl isothiocyanate, allicin, and combinations thereof, and 1.0 to 2.0 wt. % of a solubility improving additive, whereby an insect is repelled from the surface. |
