Cross-sectional view of the excito-repellency system.
The contact and non-contact exposure chambers are shown in the upper and lower left panels, respectively. Each chamber is connected to a receiving box on the upper and lower right panels.

GLMM estimates of Aedes aegypti escape upon exposure to insecticide-treated fabrics.
Fig 2.
Kaplan–Meier curves for the retention probability of Aedes aegypti across three metofluthrin-treated fabrics.
A = Contact retention probability at low dose; B = Contact retention probability at high dose; C = Non-contact retention probability at low dose; D = Non-contact retention probability at high dose; BNP = Bed net polyester fabric. The curves represent the proportion of mosquitoes remaining in the treated chamber (retention) over time, with escape treated as the event. Statistical significance was assessed using the log-rank test.
Fig 3.
Kaplan-Meier curves for the retention probability of Aedes aegypti across three transfluthrin-treated fabrics.
A = Contact retention probability at low dose; B = Contact retention probability at high dose; C = Non-contact retention probability at low dose; D = Non-contact retention probability at high dose; BNP = Bed net polyester fabric. The curves represent the proportion of mosquitoes remaining in the treated chamber (retention) over time, with escape treated as the event. Statistical significance was assessed using the log-rank test.
Fig 4.
Kaplan–Meier curves for the retention probability of Aedes aegypti across three permethrin-treated fabrics.
A = Contact retention probability at low dose; B = Contact retention probability at high dose; C = Non-contact retention probability at low dose; D = Non-contact retention probability at high dose; BNP = Bed net polyester fabric. The curves represent the proportion of mosquitoes remaining in the treated chamber (retention) over time, with escape treated as the event. Statistical significance was assessed using the log-rank test.

GC–MS retention of transfluthrin and permethrin on fabrics (Calico, Jute, and BNP) at 1h and 24h drying.
Retention times: transfluthrin 7.86–7.87 min; cis‑permethrin 22.74 min; trans‑permethrin 23.08–23.09 min.
