摘要

Certain components of citrus fruits and oxidation products or limonerie are effective deterrents, repellents and/or spatial inhibitors for mosquitoes and biting midges. The compounds that have been found to be deterrents, repellents and infibitors for mosquitoes and biting midges are neryl acetate, citronellyl acetate, geranyl acetate, hydroxy-p-cymene, citral, α-terpineol, citronellal, linaloyl acetate, citronellol, terpen-4-ol, tetrahydrocarvone, products of oxidized oxidized limonene inclusive of d- and l-carvone, (+) limonene oxide, (-) limonene oxide, cis and tran carveol, a diol and an aldehyde, and mixtures thereof.
