The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a pest repellent material which can be used mainly for floors and walls in rooms and the like, has a long-lasting effect and is highly safe; and a pest repelling method using the pest repellent material. The problem can be solved by a pest repellent material comprising a base material impregnated with a solution containing naturally occurring components as active ingredients, said pest repellent material being characterized by being used in such a manner that the solution can be applied onto a surface of interest upon use. For solving the problem, it is particularly preferred that the solution is a solution containing (A) a cyclic monoterpene alcohol and/or (B) a cyclic monoterpene ketone and also containing (C) a cyclic sesquiterpene as the naturally occurring components.
