- (b) Aedes aegypti;
- (c) Aedes albopictus;
- (d) Anopheles spp.
- (e) Coquillettidia perturbans;

- (g) Culex spp.;
- (h) Psorophora spp.;
- (i) Culicoides spp.; and/or
- (j) Lutzomyia spp.
- repelling concentration and quantity of an insect repellent composition of matter which comprises an alkylcyclopentanone and phenyl alkanol derivative-containing composition of chemicals selected from the group consisting of: ##STR65## (iii) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR66## with a cycloalkanol derivative-containing composition of chemicals having the structures: ##STR67## and (iv) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR68## with a cycloalkanol derivative-containing composition of chemicals having the structures: ##STR69##
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the cycloalkanol derivative-containing composition is produced by the process of reacting an alkanoic acid with a mixture of chemicals having the structures: ##STR70## in the presence of a protonic acid catalyst or a Lewis acid catalyst and then subjecting the resulting mixture to hydrolysis.
- 3. The method of claim 1 which is a method of repelling mosquitoes for a finite period of time from a three dimensional space comprising the step of exposing said three dimensional space to a mosquito repelling concentration and quantity of an insect repellent composition of matter which comprises an alkycyclopentanone or phenyl alkanol derivative-containing composition selected from the group consisting of: ##STR71## (iii) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR72## with a mixture of the compounds having the structures: ##STR73## and (iv) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR74## with a mixture of the compounds having the structures: ##STR75##
- 4. The method of claim 1 which is a method of repelling the insect species Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae) for a finite period of time from a three dimensional space comprising the step of exposing said three dimensional space to a Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae) repelling concentration and quantity of an insect repellent composition of matter which is an alkylcyclopentanone or phenylalkanol derivative-containing composition selected from the group consisting of: ##STR76## (iii) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR77## with a mixture of the compounds having the structures: ##STR78## and (iv) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR79## with a mixture of the compounds having the structures: ##STR80##
- 5. A process for repelling blood feeding arthropods from a person consisting of the steps of:
- (a) fabricating an insect repelling soap comprising a soap base and in intimate contact therewith an alkylcyclopentanone or phenylalkanol derivative-containing composition selected from the group consisting of: ##STR81## (iii) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR82## with a mixture of cycloalkanol derivatives having the structures: ##STR83## and (iv) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR84## with a mixture of cycloalkanol derivatives having the structure: ##STR85## and (b) applying an effective amount of the thus fabricated soap to said person.
- 6. The method of claim 3 wherein the insect repelling composition of matter is an insect repelling perfume composition comprising a perfume base and intimately admixed therewith an insect repelling amount of an alkylcyclopentanone or phenylalkanol derivative-containing composition selected from the group consisting of: ##STR86## (iii) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR87## with a mixture of cycloalkanol derivatives having the structures: ##STR88## and (iv) a mixture of the compound having the structure: ##STR89## with a mixture of cycloalkanol derivatives having the structures: ##STR90##
