Use of alkyl cyclopentanone, cycloalkanol and phenyl alkanol derivative-containing compositions for repelling blood feeding arthropopods and apparatus for determining repellency and attractancy of semiochemicals against and for blood fee ing arthropods

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Described is a method for repelling at least one of the insect species: (a) Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae); (b) Aedes aegypti; (c) Aedes albopictus; (d) Anopheles spp.; (e)Coquillettidia perturbans; (f) Culiseta spp.; (g) Culex spp.; (h) Psorophora spp.; (i) culicoides spp.; and/or (j) Lutzomyia spp. for a finite period of time from a three dimensional space comprising the step of exposing the three dimensional space to an insect species (as named above) concentration and quantity of a composition of matter which is one or more of: (1) alkylcyclopentanone or phenylalkanol derivative-containing composition having the structures: (I) or (II) (2) a mixture of, the chemical compounds …
