ABSTRACT:
Methods of effectively repelling vertebrates, especially rodents, from consuming or utilizing materials otherwise susceptible to such consumption or utilization, using at least one non-toxic rodent repellent compound selected from the group comprising acetophenone, 2-aminobenzyl alcohol, 2-amino-4'5'-dimethoxyacetophenone, anthranilamide, anthranilic acid, isobutyl anthranilate, 4-ketobenztriazine, meta-aminoacetophenone, meta-hydroxyacetophenone, meta-methoxyacetophenone, 2-methoxybenzoic acid, methylanthranilate, ortho-aminoacetophenone, ortho-hydroxyacetophenone, ortho-methoxyacetophenone, para-aminoacetophenone, para-hydroxyacetophenone, para-methoxyacetophenone, and veratryl amine, are provided herein. Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to materials and methods for reducing crop damage, feedlot depredation, and livestock disease attributed to rodent infestation. Certain other embodiments relate to methods of decreasing rodent predation, especially predation of trees, in particular, seedlings. Other embodiments relate to methods of decreasing rodent utilization of functional articles such as telephone and electrical cables, refuse containers and the like. Rodent repellent compositions are also provided by this invention.
