Neem is used as an active ingredient for manufacturing insect/mosquito
repellent spray and coil. This natural or herbal product is increasingly
becoming popular as the fumes are non toxic and do not affect humans.
Synthetic repellents and sprays affected the human body, so they are
being replaced by the organic counterparts. Repellent creams are being
exported to large number of countries infested with insects and
mosquitoes.
Azadirachtin is the main compound possessing repellent properties and
hence finds immense importance in agriculture and personal hygiene
industry. Salannin is another compound in the tree, having insect and
pest repellent properties.
