Use of alkyl cyclopentanone and phenyl alkanol derivative-containing compositions for repelling blood feeding arthropods and apparatus for determining repellency and attractancy of semiochemicals against and for blood feeding arthropods

摘要

Described is an insect repelling detergent tablet consisting of (A) a polymeric core containing a microporous polymer containing in the interstices thereof an effective insect repelling amount of a composition of matter selected from the group consisting of (i) a mixture of an alkylcyclopentanone-derivative and cycloalkanol-derivatives, and (ii) a mixture of penyl alkanol-derivative and cycloalkanol-derivatives, and (B) a detergent composition coated on the polymeric core.
