Described are animal control compositions and methods; which compositions comprise citronellyl nitrile, citronellol alpha-terpinyl methyl ether and lemon oil and, optionally, caryophyllene, isopulegol, isopulegyl acetate, one or more norbornyl alkyl ethers, one or more 3,4,5,6,6-pentamethyl hexanol-2 derivatives 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, alpha-terpinyl methyl ether and lemon oil and, optionally, the caryophyllene, isopulegol, isopulegyl acetate, one or more norbornyl alkyl ethers, one or more 3,4,5,6,6-pentamethyl hexanol-2 derivatives 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,

Described are the uses of C.sub.8 -t-alkanols and C.sub.5 -C.sub.11 -omega-alken-1-ols taken alone or taken in combination as attractants house flies (Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae)). The C.sub.8 -t-alkanols and C.sub.5 -C.sub.11 -omega-alken-1-ols taken alone or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.
