主权项

1. A repellent insert for reception into a vented pocket, such insert being comprised of:
a) an absorbent pad comprised of compressed cellulosic fiber that is slightly rigid, has surface area and has an absorbent capacity for natural oils in an amount no less than about two hundred percent (200%) of the absorbent pad's dry weight such that the natural oils are retained within the pad and such that an evaporative release of natural oils occurs at ambient temperatures; and a natural oil formulation an oil formulation comprising about 40 to about 67 percent by weight citronella oil; about 30 to about 40 percent by weight cedarwood oil and 0.00 to 30 percent by weight eucalyptus oil absorbed on said pad, whereby, said repellant insert is operatively receivable into a vented pocket wherein said oil formulation evaporates at ambient temperatures and said insert is a repellent for flies such that the time spent by flies within a one-foot radius of the absorbent pad is less than the time if there was no evaporation of natural oils.
