A composition and method for insect repellent is provided. The composition in one form has on a weight percentage basis 10-20% 2,6-dimethyl-7-octen-2-ol; 0.1-5% 2,6-octadienal, 3,7-dimethyl-; 1-10% benzyl benzoate; 0.01-2% citral; 1-10% hexamethylindanopyran; 10-40% lavender oil; 20-50% Lemon Oil Argentina; 5-15% Lime Oil Distilled Mexican; 0.01-3% limonene; 5-15% rosemary oil; and optionally 0.1-10% an insect repellent active ingredient selected from the group consisting of N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate and picaridin. The composition has insect repellent properties.

Disclosed herein are spatial insect repellent compositions comprising pyrethrins and p-menthane-3,8-diol. Room entry of Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitos is reduced by at least about 10% after exposure to the vaporized composition. Within 24 hours after exposure to the vaporized composition, Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitos experience about 10% mortality.

An oral canine feed and a method of controlling ticks in a canine in need thereof by orally administering to the canine an effective amount of a isoxazoline for an effective time to thereby cause the amount of isoxazoline in the canine's blood to rise to and maintain at a therapeutically effective level for controlling ticks.

Orally administrating an active material to a mammal on a substantially daily basis, thereby increasing the blood concentration of the active material to an amount effective to control a flea and/or tick infestation in the mammal. Discontinuing administration for at least one day, while maintaining the concentration of the active material at a level that controls the flea and/or tick infestation. After the period of time has elapsed, resuming substantially daily dosing to maintain the blood concentration of the active material in an amount effective to control the flea and/or tick infestation. Also disclosed is a method for establishing a regimen for administering an active material for controlling flea and/or tick infestations in a mammal using a dosage that lower than the label dose for a corresponding time-period.
