Abstract
Described is a method of repelling Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscida), Aedes aegypti, Culex nigripalpus, Aedes atlanticus, Culex salinarius, Aedes vexans, Culex spp., Simulium spp., Psoroferia ferox, Aedes infirmatus, Drosophila melanogaster, Coccinellidae, Anopheles crucians, Psoroferia columbiae, Culicoides spp., Aedes spp. and Haematobia irritans [L.]for a finite period of time from a three-dimensional space inhabited by said insect species consisting essentially of the step of exposing a three-dimensional space inhabited by said insect species to an effective insect species repelling concentration and quantity of at least one dimethyl substituted oxymethyl cyclohexene derivative defined according to the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.2 represents hydrogen or methyl.
