Abstract

Selected esters and amides of 4 alicyclic acids were found to be significantly more effective than N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (deet) as topical repellents against the stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.). Two compounds, 1-(3-cyclohexene-1-yl carbonyl)piperidine (AI3-35765) and 1-[ (2-methylcyclohexyl)-carbonyl]piperidine (AI3-35769), were significantly more effective than deet when they were applied to skin at rates of 62.5, 125, and 250 mg/forearm. Two others, 1-[ (2-methyl-cyclohexyl) carbonyl]-hexahydro-1 H-azepinc (AI3-35770) and N,N-dipropylcyclohexanccarboxamide (AI3-36326), were more dfective at the 2 highest doses while the remainder were more effective at the highest or intermediate dose.
