This invention relates to a group of compounds for repelling blood-feeding ectoparasitic arthropods, and a method of deterring their landing and feeding on animals including humans, by applying in one or more formulations compounds that incorporate one or more sulfide and one or more hydroxyl groups to the skin, clothing or environment of animals, including humans. A method of repelling and deterring landing and feeding by blood-feeding arthropods on an animal by applying in effective amount one or more compounds that incorporate alkyl sulfide and alcohol moieties, or alkyl sulfide and amide moieties, or alkyl sulfide and amide moieties to the skin, clothing or environment of an animal.
A method of repelling and deterring landing and feeding by blood feeding arthropods on an animal, comprising applying an effective amount of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of 8-methylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-ethylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-propylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-butylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-pentylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, and (N,N)-diethyl-8-allylsulfanyl-octanamide, wherein the one or more compounds is for application to the skin, clothing or environment of the animal, and wherein the arthropods are blood feeding insects in the Order Diptera.
A composition for repelling and deterring landing and feeding by blood feeding arthropods on an animal comprising an effective amount of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of 8-methylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-ethylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-propylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-butylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-pentylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, and (N,N)-diethyl-8-allylsulfanyl-octanamide, and a suitable carrier, wherein the composition is for application to the skin, clothing or environment of the animal, and wherein the arthropods are blood feeding insects in the Order Diptera.
A method of repelling blood feeding insects of the Order Diptera from an animal, comprising applying an effective amount of one or more compounds of 8-methylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-ethylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-propylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-butylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, 8-pentylsulfanyloctan-1-ol, or (N,N)-diethyl-8-allylsulfanyl-octanamide, to the skin, clothing or environment of the animal.
