Claims
- 1. A method for reducing or eradicating a population or for reducing or preventing the spread of a colony of fire ants comprising exposing to said population of fire ants a composition comprising an effective amount of a trans-2,6-disubstituted piperidine compound according to the structure: wherein R1 and R2 are selected from a C1 to C20 saturated or unsaturated linear, cyclic or branch-chained substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group or an ester group and salts thereof; in combination with a bait and optionally, a carrier.
- 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said hydrocarbon group is an alkyl group.
- 3. The method according to claim 1 wherein said hydrocarbon group is an alkenyl group.
- 4. The method according to claim 2 wherein said alky group is a C2 to C9 alkyl group.
- 5. The method according to claim 1 wherein said hydrocarbon is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group.
- 6. The method according to claim 1 wherein said hydrocarbon is an aromatic substituted alkyl group.
- 7. The method according to claim 1 wherein said ester group contains a chemical structure according to the formula: wherein R4 is a —(CH2)n— group or a group containing at least one double bond —CH═CH—(CH2)n-2— where n is from 1 to 20 and R3 is a C1 to C6 alkyl group.
- 8. The method according to claim 7 wherein R3 is a C1 to C3 alkyl group.
- 9. The method according to the claim 1 wherein R1 or R2 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, 4-methylpentyl, 5-methylhexyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, vinyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, hexenyl, heptenyl, 3-methylbutenyl, 5-methylhexenyl, benzyl, ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, ethyl propanoate and ethyl propenoate.
- 10. The method according to claim 9 where R1 or R2 is a methyl group.
- 11. A method of repelling a population of insects susceptible to the venom of Solenopsis invicta comprising exposing to said population a composition comprising an effective amount of a trans-2,6-disubstituted piperidine compound according to the structure: wherein R1 and R2 are selected from a C1 to C20 saturated or unsaturated linear, cyclic or branch-chained substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group or an ester group and salts thereof; optionally, in combination with a carrier.
- 12. The method according to claim 11 wherein said hydrocarbon group is an alkyl group.
- 13. The method according to claim 11 wherein said hydrocarbon group is an alkenyl group.
- 14. The method according to claim 11 wherein said alky group is a C2 to C9 alkyl group.
- 15. The method according to claim 11 wherein said hydrocarbon is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group.
- 16. The method according to claim 11 wherein said hydrocarbon is an aromatic substituted alkyl group.
- 17. The method according to claim 11 wherein said ester group contains a chemical structure according to the formula: wherein R4 is a —(CH2)n— group or a group containing at least one double bond —CH═CH—(CH2)n-2— where n is from 1 to 20 and R3 is a C1 to C6 alkyl group.
- 18. The method according to claim 11 wherein R3 is a C1 tio C3 alkyl group.
- 19. The method according to the claim 11 wherein R1 or R2 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, 4-methylpentyl, 5-methylhexyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, vinyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, hexenyl, heptenyl, 3-methylbutenyl, 5-methylhexenyl, benzyl, ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, ethyl propanoate and ethyl propenoate.
- 20. The method according to claim 19 where R1 or R2 is a methyl group.
