Abstract
Abstract Described are the uses of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide having the structure: <IMAGE> and the ethyl ester of 2-methyl-3-pentenoic acid having the structure: <IMAGE> taken alone or in combination as attractions for mosquitos (Culicidae). The N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and the ethyl ester of 2-methyl-3-pentenoic acid taken along or in combination find utility primarily as bait enhancers for acute toxins and/or trapping devices.
