Abstract: Described is the use of 1-nonen-3-ol as a repellent for house flies (Musca domestica). Also described are candle compositions which may be opaque or transparent or pastel shaded which are adapted to incorporate 1-nonen-3-ol which are both perfumes and insect repellents without flashing during burning. Such compositions comprising as the basic components a mixture of (a) a hydrocarbon wax or (b) a thermoplastic polyamide resin formed from linoleic acid polymerized with a polyamide compound taken together with an alkanol amide or alkanol amine and as stearic acid compound or (c) a straight chain aliphatic amide in combination with light mineral oil and alcohol; compositions (a), (b) or (c), supra, taken further together with 1-nonen-3-ol taken alone or together with a perfume composition substantially inactive from an insect repellent standpoint. Also described is apparatus also referred to herein as an "olfactometer" used for measuring the repellency of said 1-nonen-3-ol.

Abstract: Described are animal control compositions and methods; which compositions comprise lemon oil and .alpha.-terpinyl methyl ether taken alone or taken further together with quinine or salts thereof. The compositions can be used "as is" or in the form of a "controlled release" composition whereby the lemon oil and .alpha.-terpinyl methyl ether taken alone or further together with quinine or a salt thereof are intimately admixed (alone or with adjuvants including but not limited to other volatile, odorous ingredients) with a polymeric substance such as polyethylene in the form of pellets or functional articles, e.g., garbage bags.
