Disclosed is a pest repellent that has excellent heat resistance and solvent resistance, that can be kneaded into a resin molded article or a synthetic fiber, and that has excellent durability and persistence for which a pest repellent effect is sustained for a long period even when it is used for a long period or washed. A durable pest repellent that has both high heat resistance and persistence has been accomplished by supporting on a specific layered silicate a pest repellent chemical containing as an essential component at least one selected from N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide, 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-methylpropyl ester, and N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-methylpropyl ester.
