Abstract
An insect-active assembly which can provide insect repellency, insecticidal action, or both, and which is adapted to be directly affixed to the garment worn by a person is provided. The assembly comprises a polymeric body which contains an insect-active composition, as a volatile plasticizer, which, over time, migrates from the polymeric body to provide the desired degree of insect-active action. The insect-active assembly can be affixed directly to the garment of a person either by being configured to fit over or be affixed to a portion a the person's garment, (e.g., as a hatband) or by having separate means provided to affix it to the garment. Such separate means for affixing the polymeric body to the garment include pressure-sensitive adhesive coatings and hook-and-loop fasteners.
