🦟 Annoying mosquitoes,
now controlled by science!
Insilico’s innovative mosquito attraction and repellent solution
Are you having trouble sleeping at night because of mosquitoes,
those unwelcome guests of summer? 😢
Not only is the constant buzzing sound a problem,
but when you consider the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, they are truly a “nuisance.”
However, you no longer have to remain defenseless and suffer in silence.
Insilico is an innovative company that has scientifically analyzed mosquito behavior
and developed effective attraction and repellent solutions based on this research.

Using mosquito behavior:
Insilico's mosquito attraction capsule technology
How do mosquitoes find us?
It is because they detect our breath, body odor, and heat.
Insilico is introducing a “mosquito attraction capsule” technology
that use the mosquito’s sensitive sense of smell
to lure them to a specific location before they reach humans.
The key ingredient in this technology is “Octenol (1-octen-3-ol)”.
| Ingredient | Main Characteristics | Mosquito Attraction Mechanism | Advantages | Representative Applications |
| Octenol | Volatile organic compounds commonly found in the body odor of mushrooms and animals | Strongly stimulates the olfactory receptors of mosquitoes and attracting them, especially female mosquitoes that need to suck blood | Very similar to human body odor, Effective even at relatively low concentrations | Household electronic mosquito attractors, outdoor traps, Research mosquito traps |
Octenol acts as a lure, causing mosquitoes to react strongly to certain attractants,
just as they detect carbon dioxide in human body odor and breath.
It emits a scent similar to certain components found in human sweat and breath, which attracts mosquitoes.
Octenol has a powerful attractant effect on female mosquitoes that reproduce by sucking blood,
which is a very significant feature in that
it can directly influence the reduction of mosquito populations.
Core Technology:
Enhancing durability through microencapsulation
Due to its highly volatile nature, Octenol evaporates quickly when used in its normal form,
making it difficult to maintain its effectiveness.
Insilico applied “microencapsulation” technology to overcome these limitations.
This method involves encapsulating Octenol in tiny capsules so that it is released slowly.
1️⃣ Security against the rapid evaporation of Octenol:
Prevents rapid evaporation and minimizes the loss of active ingredients.
2️⃣ Slow release effect:
Maintains a stable mosquito attractant effect for a long period of time.
3️⃣ Increased stability and efficiency:
Less sensitive to changes in the external environment, increasing product stability and enabling efficient use.
Thanks to microcapsule technology,
Insilico’s mosquito attractant capsules can effectively attract mosquitoes for a long time,
greatly helping to control mosquito populations.
They can be used in gardens, outdoor event venues, and various other environments
where effective mosquito control is required.
Protection found in nature:
Thymol-based mosquito repellent
Just as important as attracting mosquitoes to a specific location is protecting ourselves from mosquitoes.
Insilico also offers mosquito repellent solutions that utilize the natural ingredient Thymol.
Thymol is a natural compound extracted from thyme oil that is well known for its powerful antibacterial and antiseptic effects,
as well as its insect repellent properties.
It can be used effectively to repel not only mosquitoes but also various pests such as ticks and fleas.
🌿 Effectiveness and duration of T-MOL
The duration of repellent effect of mosquito repellents containing Thymol
varies depending on the concentration.
According to documents from the Korea Pharmaceutical Information Center,
the following durations can generally be expected.
📍 10% concentration product: lasts 5 to 12 hours
📍 20% concentration product: lasts 8 to 14 hours
Thymol provides protection against mosquitoes for as long as needed by adjusting its concentration.
For those concerned about synthetic ingredients,
the fact that it is derived from natural sources can be a significant advantage.
Thymol is a versatile ingredient,
as it is not only used in mosquito repellents but also in medical disinfectants
and some insecticide products due to its excellent antibacterial and antimicrobial effects.
However, domestic pharmaceutical and quasi-drug guidelines and pharmaceutical information materials
specify recommended concentrations and precautions by age
(such as prohibition of use for infants and potential damage to tents and fabrics),
so these must be reviewed when planning products.
Synergy between attraction and repellency:
Insilico's integrated solution for perfect mosquito control
The most effective way to solve mosquito problems is to use two strategies simultaneously:
“attraction” and “repulsion.”
👉🏻 Attraction:
Keeps mosquitoes away from people and important areas.
This method actively reduces the number of mosquitoes
by installing bait traps at specific locations where mosquitoes frequently appear.
It contributes to solving mosquito problems in the long term.
👉🏻 Repellence:
Apply directly to the area where you are active or to your skin to prevent mosquitoes from approaching.
It provides immediate protection, allowing you to stay comfortable during outdoor activities or indoors.
Insilico provides solutions that encompass both strategies,
helping to build a comprehensive defense system against mosquitoes.
It is possible to attract and trap mosquitoes from the outside,
protect individuals with repellents,
and create an environment safe from mosquitoes.
An integrated approach is the true meaning of a mosquito control solution.

Insilico, dreaming of a better tomorrow through science
Insilico goes beyond simply creating mosquito repellent products,
striving to provide the most effective and sustainable solutions
by referencing the biomechanics and behavior patterns of mosquitoes.
The microencapsulation technology of Octenol
and the use of naturally derived repellent ingredients from Thymol
are good examples of Insilico’s research capabilities and commitment to innovation.
Don’t stress over mosquitoes anymore.
Insilico’s mosquito attractant capsules and Thymol-based repellent will keep mosquitoes out of our daily lives.
