  • Is coconut oil a good insect repellent?
  • Most currently available plant-based repellents work for only a short period, Zhu noted. Coconut oil itself is not a repellent, Zhu emphasized. However, the coconut oil-derived free fatty acid mixture—lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid as well as their corresponding methyl esters—provides strong repellency against blood-sucking insects.
  • Does coconut oil repel mosquitoes?
  • Coconut oil fatty acids also provided more that 90 percent repellency against mosquitoes—including Aedes aegypt i, the mosquito that can transmit the Zika virus. These coconut oil-derived compounds offer longer-lasting protection than any other known natural repellent against insect blood-feeding, according to Zhu.
  • Does coconut oil repel bed bugs?
  • It was also able to repel bed bugs and ticks for up to two weeks, whereas DEET only worked for three days. The coconut oil compound was the only tested natural option that provided long-lasting protection from insects.
  • Does coconut oil repel blood-sucking insects?
  • Compounds derived from coconut oil are better than DEET at repelling blood-sucking insects, according to a new U.S. Department of Agriculture ( USDA) study. Using repellents is one of the most efficient ways to prevent disease transmission and discomfort associated with insect bites.
