Use of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and/or the ethyl ester of 2-methyl- 3- pentenoic acid as insect attractants

摘要

Described are the N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide having the structure: ##STR1## and the ethyl ester of 2-methyl-3-pentenoic acid having the structure: ##STR2## taken alone or taken in combination as attractants for house flies (Musca domestica L.(Diptera:Muscidae)). The N, N-diethyl-m- toluamide and ethyl ester of 2-methyl-3-pentenoic acid taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.
