Repellent

Repellent - also repellents, repulsive substances, or smearing agents - is an active substance which is perceived by an organism via the smell and which quenches it without killing it. Above all, in the English language, the repellents also include physical methods that drive or repel organisms, such as electric pasture fences or ultrasound sources. Repellents are used against different organisms, which are considered by the user as "harmful organisms" or at a certain place unwanted organisms. Today, arthropods, fish, mammals or even humans are considered as target organisms. Als Repellent – auch Repellens, Repulsivstoff oder Vergrämungsmittel – wird ein Wirkstoff bezeichnet, der von einem Organismus über den Geruchssinn wahrgenommen wird und der diesen abschreckt, ohne ihn zu töten. Vor allem im englischen Sprachraum werden zu den Repellentien auch physikalische Methoden gezählt, die Organismen vertreiben oder zurückstoßen wie elektrische Weidezäune oder Ultraschallquellen. Repellentien werden gegen unterschiedliche Organismen eingesetzt, die vom Anwender als „Schadorganismen“ oder an einem bestimmten Ort unerwünschte Organismen angesehen werden. Als Zielorganismen kommen heute Gliederfüßer, Fische, Säugetiere oder auch Menschen in Betracht.
