The high thermal and thermo-oxidative stability together with the low volatility of the mosquito repellents ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate and Icaridin make them attractive candidates for long-lasting wearable mosquito-repellent devices. Such anklets/bracelets may have utility for outdoor protection against infective mosquito bites in malaria-endemic regions. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
