Abstract
A significant enhancement of repellency toward the black fly (Simulium venustum Say, and Prosimulium hirtipes Fries) of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide has been obtained by the addition, or conjunctive application of, vanillin, with the vanillin being present in minor proportion relative to the toluamide. A surprising decrease in black fly landings on the skin and bitings, was observed when the combination was used, compared to the toluamide alone.
