Abstract
Described is a method for repelling at least one of the insect species: PA1 (a) Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae); PA1 (b) Aedes aegypti; PA1 (c) Aedes albopictus; PA1 (d) Anopheles spp. PA1 (e) Coquillettidia perturbans; PA1 (f) Culiseta spp.; PA1 (g) Culex spp.; PA1 (h) Psorophora spp.; PA1 (i) Culicoides spp.; and/or PA1 (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 an alkylcyclopentanone having the structure: ##STR1## or a phenylalkanol derivative having the structure having the structure: ##STR2## or mixtures of one of the above compounds with mixtures of cycloalkanol derivatives produced according to U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,251 issued on Jun. 23, 1981.
