ABSTRACT:
Described is (i) a method of repelling Musca domestica L.(Diptera:Muscidae) or Aedes aegyptae for a finite period of time from a three-dimensional space inhabitable by Musca domnestica L.(Diptera:Muscidae) or Aedes aegyptae consisting essentially of the step of exposing a three-dimensional space to an effective Musca domestica L.(Diptera:Muscidae) or Aedes aegyptae-repelling concentration and quantity of a geraniol-containing composition consisting essentially of 50-100% of geraniol with the remainder of the composition being a compound selected from the group consisting of citronellol and nerol and (ii) a method of attracting Musca domestica L.(Diptera:Muscidae) or Aedes aegyptae using lavender absolute, benzoin, dimethyl benzyl carbinyl acetate, jasmine absolute, racemic borneol, d-limonene and/or dihydrolinalool. The attractants taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices. The above-stated attractants and repellents are described to be useful as such or contained in a polymer which can be a biodegradable polymer such as compositions containing a major proportion of poly(epsilon caprolactone) homopolymers.
