Definitions

  • foul-smelling materials have varying degrees of toxicity and are thus subject to hazard labeling requirements by controlling governmental agencies regulating pesticides and animal repellents. They must be handled with care, often by wearing protective clothing including gloves, and, as economic poisons, they must be kept away from children. Some of the substances presently marketed as animal repellents also are harmful to certain classes of vegetation, and thus they cannot be used to keep animals away from these plants and must be used with caution.
  • lactones Occuring both naturally in fruits and also synthesized by organic chemists, the lactones are classed as essential oils and are approved as food additives by governmental regulatory bodies. Rigorous laboratory tests with various animals have proven their benign nature and their effectivities.
  • a product for repelling dogs and cats comprising certain lactones, namely those selected from the group consisting of gamma-n-alkyl-gamma- butyrolactone and delta-n-alkyl-delta-valerolactone having the formula: CH 1 - ( CH 1 ) n -CH-R O-C 0
  • n is a number from 1 to 2
  • R is a straight-chain alkyl group having from about 1 to about 8 carbon atoms, said compound being present in an amount sufficient to repel a dog or cat together with d'-limonene in an amount in the range of about 20 to about 50 times by weight of said lactones, at least one essential oil in amount sufficient to control the vapor pressure of the lactones to maximise the effective life of such lactones, and, a mineral oil carrier for the other constituents being present in the range of about 1 to about 6 times the weight of such constituents .
  • the product is applied to a selected area or to the animals themselves, it will act as an effective long lasting nontoxic repellent.
  • n is 1, the compound is a gamma-n-alkyl-gamma-butyrolactone having the formula:
  • R is a straight-chain alkyl group having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms.
  • the compound is a delta-n-alkyl- delta-valerolacetone having the formula:
  • R is preferably a straight-chain alkyl group having from 2 to 7 carbon atoms.
  • the R groups are ethyl, n-propyl-n-butyl, n-amyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl and n-octyl.
  • Exemplary compounds which can be employed in accordance with the invention arlone or in admixture include gamma-undecalactone(gamma-n-heptyl-gamma- butyrolactone) , gamma-n-hexyl-gamma-butyrolactone, gamma-n-octyl- ' gamma-butyrolactone, gamma-n-amyl-gamma- butyrolactone, gamma-n-butyl-gamma-buty ' rolactone, gamma-n-propyl-gamma-butyrolactone, gamma-ethyl-gamma- butyrolactone, delta-undecalactone(delta-n-hexyl- delta-valerolactone, delta-n-heptyl-delta-valero- lactone, and delta-n-alkyl-delta-valerolactone.
  • the odors of the two lactones comprise the primary animal repellents.
  • the d'-limonene is a short-lived essential oil having a distinct odor of lemon and is used as an indicator to the one applying the product that the mixture has been properly applied to the area being protected. After several days, the d'-limonene has fully evaporated and the lemon odor disappears.
  • the remaining oils are used to alter the vapor pressures of the two lactones and their other physical characteristics such that the rate of evaporation of the lactones is controlled as desired. Evaporation of the specific liquid is a function of such things as temperature, pressure and humidity as well as the surface characteristics of the particular carrier chosen. Mixtures of liquids display different rates of evaporation than their components.
  • the above-listed essential oils including the two lactones, are diluted with a clear white mineral oil to form a sprayable mixture having improved properties over previously available repellents.
  • the mixture is nonstaining to most fabrics and thus can be used indoors.
  • the effectivity is maintained for periods of a month or more compared to only hours or at the most days for competitive products.
  • the composition can also include an inert solid adsorbent carrier present in the range of about 1 to about 6 times the weight of the foregoing described other constituents. Too little liquid adsorbed in the carrier will never come out and too much liquid applied to the carrier will not be fully adsorbed.
  • Such carriers can be selected from the group consisting of kieselguhr, diatomaceous earth, calcium carbonate, kaolin, attapulgite clay, montmorillonite clay, and silica, of which granular attapulgite clay ideally of 16/30 mesh is preferred because of its ease of handling and ability to spread evenly and adsorb a relatively large amount of the other constituents, and its functioning as a controlled site of repellant evaporation.
  • composition of this invention can be handled without any undue precautionary steps (other than keeping it away from children) and its has no objectionable odor.
  • the adsorbed essential oils including the two lactones contained in the formulation, are evaporated and released to the atmosphere in a slow controlled manner so that effectivity is maintained over long periods of time up to a month or more.
  • the oil ingredients being immiscible in water are unaffected by the moisture caused by rain and hosing, and thus the product is effective despite them.
  • Example 1 The composition of Example 1, including the mineral oil, was mixed with attapulgite clay having a mesh size of 16/30 to result in a material having the following analysis:
  • the essential oils and the mineral oil diluent are mixed with the ⁇ clay in any conventional mixing machine.
  • the oils are adsorbed into the clay.
  • the resulting product is slightly moist to the touch and has a decided odor of lemon.
  • an effective protection is reached for periods of time ranging up to a month or more. In very hot weather, the effective time is slightly less than that achieved in cooler weather because of accelerated evaporation. Nevertheless, the product remained effective for three weeks when tested on ocean front beach sands at temperatures above 110 degrees F.
  • the essential oils can be used in many different carriers other than the mineral oil for spraying and the clay for dispersing.
  • the oils can be impregnated into paper, cloth or plastic tapes and sheets for repelling animals in the vicinity. Such sheets could be used indoors under seat cushions and furniture to discourage animals from relieving themselves thereabouts.
  • the oils could also be encapsulated within fragile "microspheres" to be released when the animal crushes the carriers and activates the stored repellent. Such "slow release" techniques are widely used in lawn chemicals and various medications .
  • the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.
