| 摘要 |
The invention comprises a new agent for attracting mosquitoes and the use thereof. The agent consists of a mixture comprising L-lactic acid, ammonia and octanoic acid, and at least 2 and not more than 6 further carboxylic acids as a behaviour-modifying agent for mosquitoes, wherein the further carboxylic acids are selected from the group consisting of propionic acid, butanoic acid, 3- methyl butanoic acid, pentanoic acid, heptanoic acid and tetradecanoic acid. Especially preferred is a blend comprising 5 and more preferably 2 of said carboxylic acid compounds except for 3-methyl butanoic acid. Alternatively, a mixture of comprising L-lactic acid, ammonia and tetradecanoic acid and a fourth component selected form the group consisting of 2-methylbutanoic acid, 3-methylbutanoic acid, 2-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanal, octanal, nonanal, decanal, 1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-hydroxy-2- butanone, 2,3-butanedione, methyl-2-methylbutanoate, butylisobutyrate, butylbutyrate, butylacetate, 1-butylamine, 1-pentylamine, dimethyldisulphide and dimethylpentasulphide can be used. |
