## Abstract

Described is a process for repelling house flies and mosquitoes from the proximity of a user of soap by means of: (i) forming an insect repelling soap by admixing a soap base with either the compound having the structure: ##STR1## the compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR2## (wherein in each of the compounds of the mixture, one of the dashed lines represents a carbon-carbon double bond and each of the other of the dashed lines represents a carbon-carbon single bond) and then (ii) applying the thus formed mosquito or house fly repellent soap to a user in a sufficient quantity to repel insects from the proximity of the user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A process for repelling insects selected from the group consisting of house flies and mosquitoes from a three dimensional space inhabitable by said insects in the proximity of a user of soap comprising the steps of:
(i) forming an insect repelling soap consisting essentially of a soap base and in intimate contact therewith a house fly or mosquito repellent quantity and concentration of at least one house fly or mosquito repellent composition of matter selected from the group consisting of:
(a) a composition of matter consisting essentially of a compound defined according to the structure: ##STR18## (b) a composition of matter which is a mixture consisting essentially of compounds defined according to the generic structure: ##STR19## wherein in each of the compounds of the mixture one of the dashed lines represents a carbon-cardon double bond and each of the other of the dashed lines represents a carbon-carbon single bond; and
(ii) applying the thus-formed mosquito or house fly repellent soap to a user in a sufficient quantity to repel mosquitoes and house flies from said three dimensional space inhabitable by said insects in the proximity of said user.
