  • Process for determination of repellency and attractancy
    Patent number: 4759228
    Abstract: Described is the use of 1-nonen-3-ol as a repellent for house flies (Musca domestica).

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.
