Essential oils like Marigold oil, Clove oil, Cedar wood oil, Garlic oil, Rosemary oil, Lemon Thyme oil were chosen as a mosquito repellent for this study. The selected essential oils are mixed with the printing pigments in different ratios. Screen printing technique is used to printing and the mosquito repellent printed samples can be evaluated subjectively and objectively.
