Described are the uses of benzyl formate having the structure: ##STR1## and d-pulegone having the structure: ##STR2## taken alone or taken in combination as attractants for beetles (Coleoptera). The benzyl formate and d-pulegone taken along or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Use of benzyl formate, and d-pulegone and mixtures of same as beetle

Described are the uses of benzyl formate having the structure: ##STR1## d-carvone having the structure: ##STR2## and d-pulegone having the structure: ##STR3## taken alone or taken in combination as attractants for house flies (Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae)). The benzyl formate, d-carvone and di-pulegone taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Use of benzyl formate, d-carvone and d-pulegone and mixtures of same as

Described are the uses of alpha-terpineol having the structure: ##STR1## and dibutyl succinate having the structure: ##STR2## taken alone or in combination as attractants for female Mediterranean sand flies (Phlebotomus papatasi). The dubutyl succinate and alpha-terpineol taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Use of dibutyl succinate as insect attractant

Described are the uses of Calendula absolute (hereinafter also referred to as 'marigold absolute', the solvent extract from the ligulate florets of Calendula officianalis), isobutyric acid having the structure: ##STR1## and isoamyl decanoate having the structure: ##STR2## taken alone or taken in combination as attractants for house flies (Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae)). The marigold absolute, isobutyric acid and isoamyl decanoate taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Use of marigold absolute, isobutyric acid, isoamyl decanoate and

Described is the use of d-carvone having the structure: ##STR1## as an attractant for mosquitos (Culicidae). The d-carvone finds utility primarily as a bait enhancer for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Use of d-carvone as mosquito attractant

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.

Use of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and/or the ethyl ester of

Described are the uses of dimethyl disulfide having the structure: ##STR1## and dibutyl succinate having the structure: ##STR2## taken alone or taken in combination as attractants for sand flies (Psychodidae), house flies and beetles (Coleoptera). The dimethyl disulfide itself is specifically useful as an attractant for house flies and the dibutyl succinate is specifically useful as an attractant for Copleoptera and Psychodidae. The dibutyl succinate and dimethyl disulfide taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Use of dibutyl succinate as an insect attractants

Described are the uses of dimethyl disulfide having the structure: ##STR1## and dibutyl succinate having the structure: ##STR2## taken alone or taken in combination as attractants for mosquitos (Culicidae). The dibutyl succinate and dimethyl disulfide taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Use of dibutyl succinate, dimethyl disulfide and mixtures of same as

Described are the uses of alpha-terpineol having the structure: ##STR1## and dibutyl succinate having the structure: ##STR2## taken alone or in combination as attractants for female Mediterranean sand flies (Phlebotomus papatasi). The dibutyl succinate and alpha-terpineol taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Use of alpha-terpineol as insect attractant

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.

Described are the uses of 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 in combination as attractants for mosquitos (Culicidae). The N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and the ethyl ester of 2-methyl-3-pentenoic acid taken alone or incombination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Described are the uses of methyl-isoeugenol having the structure: ##STR1## n-dodecanol having the structure: ##STR2## and 1-(2-butenoyl)-2,6,6-trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene having the structure: ##STR3## taken alone or taken in combination as attractants house flies (Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae)) and Stored Products Moths. The methyl-isoeugenol, n-dodecanol and 1-(2-butenoyl)-1,3-cyclohexadiene taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.

Use of methyl-isoeugenol, n-dodecanol and mixtures of same as insect

Described are animal control compositions and methods; which compositions comprise citronellyl nitrile, citronellol and, optionally, methyl terpenyl ether, lemon oil, caryophyllene, isopulegol, isopulegyl acetate and quinine or one or more of its salts. The compositions can be used 'as is' or in the form of a 'controlled release' composition whereby the citronellyl nitrile, citronellol and, optionally, methyl terpenyl ether, lemon oil, caryophyllene, isopulegol, isopulegyl acetate and quinine or one or more of its salts are intimately admixed (alone or with adjuvants including but not limited to other volatile, odorous ingredients) with a polymeric substance such as polyethylene in the form of pellets or functional articles, e.g., garbage bags.

Repelling animals with compositions comprising citronellyl nitrile,
