Abstract:
1. A method for control or repellency of Cimex species comprising bringing the Cimex species into direct contact or contact with vapors of at least one compound in a Cimex species control formulation containing the at least one compound that is an alkyl ketone or cyclic ketone having a total number of carbon atoms in the alkyl ketone or cyclic ketone of from 10 to 16 carbon atoms; and wherein the at least one compound that is an alkyl or cyclic ketone from 10 to 16 carbon atoms is selected from the group consisting of geranylcyclopentanone (apritone), methyl apritone (2-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-nonadienyl)-cyclopentanone), (5Z) cyclohexadec-5-ene-1-one, methyl dihydrojasmonate (methyl 2-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl)acetate), octenylcyclopentanone (2-(2-octen-1-yl)-cyclopentanone), nootkatone (4,4a-dimethyl-6-prop-1-en-2-yl-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydronaphthalen-2-one), alpha-isomethylionone (3-methyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-buten-2-one), (2-(2-(4-methyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl) propyl)cyclopentanone), isobutylionone ((E)-5-Methyl-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohex-2-enyl) hex-1-en-3-one), dimethylionone ((E)-2-methyl-1-(2,2,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohex-3-enyl) pent-1-en-3-one), 2-cyclopentylcyclopentanone, methyl jasmonate ((Z)-methyl 2-(3-oxo-2-(pent-2-enyl)cyclopentyl)acetate), ethyl dihydrojasmonate (ethyl 2-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl)acetate), propyl dihydrojasmonate (propyl 2-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl)acetate), amyl cyclopentanone propanone (3-(2-oxopropyl)-2-pentylcyclopentanone), calyxol (ethyl 2-methyl-4-oxo-6-pentylcyclohec-2-enecarboxylate), tetrahydromethylapritone (2-(3,7-dimethynonyl)cyclopentanone), N,N-diethyl-2-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl)acetamide and prenyl dihydrojasmonate (3-methylbut-2-enyl 2-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl)acetate); wherein the Cimex control formulations are formulated with the at least one compound that is an alkyl or cyclic ketone from 10 to 16 carbon atoms to provide a control or repellency when effective surface concentrations of the at least one compound in a locus to be treated for Cimex of from 1 mcg (microgram) to 5 mg (milligram) per square inch, in liquid solutions from 0.01% to 10%, applied directly to the locus at full strength, or in topical application in the range of from about 0.1% to 100%.
