Described is a method of repelling Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae), Aedes Aegypti, Culex nigripalpus, Aedes at- lanticus, Culex salinarius, Aedes vexans, Culex spp., Simulium spp., Psoroferia ferox, Aedes infirmatus, Drosophila melanogas- ter, Coccinellidae, Anopheles crucians, Psoroferia columbiae, Culicoides spp., and Aedes spp. for a finite period of time from a three-dimensional space inhabitable by Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae), Aedes aegypti, Culex nigripalpus. Aedes atlanti- cus. Culex salinarius, Aedes vexans, Culex spp., Simulium spp. Psoroferia ferox, Aedes infirmatus, Drosophila melanogaster, Coccinellidae, Anopheles crucians, Psoroferia columbiae, Culicoides spp., and Aedes spp., consisting essentially of the step of ex- posing a three-dimensional space to an effective Musca domestica L. (Diptera:Muscidae), Aedes aegypti, Culex nigripalpus, Aedes atlanticus, Culex salinarius, Aedes vexans, Culex spp., Simulium spp., Psoroferia ferox, Aedes infirmatus, Drosophila mel- anogaster, Coccinellidae, Anopheles crucians, Psoroferia columbiae, Culicoides spp., and Aedes spp.- repelling concentration and quantity of substantially pure geraniol and/or a geraniol precursor-containing composition consisting essentially of substantially pure geraniol and/or geraniol-precursor (e.g., geranyloxy-1,3,2-dioxaborinane, digeranyloxydimethylsilane and geranyl glyco- sides, for example, geranyl 6-O-(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D- glucopyranoside). The above-stated repellents are described to be useful as such or contained in a polymer which can be a biodegradable polymer such as compositions containing a major proportion of poly(epsilon caprolactone) homopolymers.
