A device for testing insect repellency is provided with a housing body (1) in which an inner space capable of housing insects therein and an opening (11) communicating the inner space with the outside are formed and which is closed, while leaving the opening (11), so as to prevent the passage of insects therethrough. A pair of rails (2) are disposed in parallel to each other on both sides of the opening (11) interposing the opening (11) on the outer surface of the housing body (1). A cover (3) is slidably held outside the housing body (1) and the size of the gap between the cover (3) and the surface of the housing body (1), on which the opening (11) is formed, is maintained at such a level as to prevent the passage of the insects therethrough. A sample holder holding a sample is slidably held by the rails (2), and, when the sample holder is slidably held by the rails (2) while holding the sample, the sample is exposed to the inner space from the opening (11). The sample holder holding the sample and the cover (3) are slid between the pair of rails (2), while being in contact with each other at one side, so that the opening (11) can be moved between a position at which the opening (11) is covered with the cover (3) and another position at which the opening (11) is covered with the sample.L'invention concerne un dispositif pour tester la répulsion d'insectes, muni d'un corps de logement (1) dans lequel un espace intérieur capable d'abriter des insectes en son sein et une ouverture (11) faisant communiquer l'espace intérieur avec l'extérieur sont formés et qui est fermé, au niveau de la sortie de l'ouverture (11), de manière à empêcher le passage des insectes à travers celle-ci. Une paire de rails (2) est disposée en parallèle un rail par rapport à l'autre de part et d'autre de l'ouverture (11) en interposant l'ouverture (11) sur la surface externe du corps de logement (1). Un couvercle (3) est maintenu de manière coulissante à l'extérieur du corps de logement (1) et l
