Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of applying an insect repellent composition containing, in a physiologically acceptable medium, as active insect repellent material, at least 20% by weight of 1-methylpropyl (2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate, said active insect repellent material being used in an aqueous medium with about 5% by weight of at least one copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and hexadecene and at least one silicone oil.

Abstract: The invention is a baiting station for rodents. The baiting station comprises a housing, a lid, and a partition. The partition is transitional between two positions corresponding to two different modes of use of the baiting station. In the first position, the partition divides the internal space of the housing into a tunnel accessible by a rodent and an enclosed bait compartment that is inaccessible while the lid is closed. In the second position, the partition either lays flat with the bottom wall of the housing or is removed from the housing, thus allowing for placement of mechanical or glue traps within the housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an insect repellent composition containing the following active insect-repellent material in a physiologically acceptable medium: at least 1-methylpropyl(2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate, said active material being used with at least one copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and of a linear alkyl, having at least 16 carbon atoms, as a film-forming agent. The invention also relates to an insect-repelling method using said composition.
