ABSTRACT:
Potentiated insect repellent compositions comprising a combination of Deet and certain bicyclic lactones having insect repellent properties are disclosed. The lactones comprise compounds of the formula: ##STR1## or the corresponding unsaturated compounds thereof having the formula: ##STR2## wherein R, R', R" and R"' each are lower alkyl or hydrogen; wherein y is an integer from 1-3, and x and z each are 0 or 1, with the proviso that y is 1 or 2 when x is 1. Preferably, R, R', R" and R"' each are hydrogen or methyl. Such compositions preferably further include a carrier. A method of using such a potentiated composition to repel an insect from a situs comprises applying to such situs an effective amount of the composition, with or without the carrier.
