Declarations under Rule 4.17: — as to applicant's entitlement to apply for and be granted a patent (Rule 4.17(H)) — of inventorship (Rule 4.17(iv)) (54) Title: ARTHROPOD CONTROLLING COMPOSITION (57) Abstract: The present invention relates to an arthropod controlling composition comprising a compound according to formula (I), methods and uses to control arthropods as well as arthropod controlling articles comprising the same. Arthropod Controllinq Composition Technical Field The present invention relates to an arthropod controlling composition comprising a compound according to formula (I), methods and uses to control arthropods as well as arthropod controlling articles comprising the same. Backqround Many mammals, including humans, are suffering from the action of arthropods. Some arthropods, such as for example mosquitoes and ticks, are not desirable for vertebrates such as mammals and in particular human subjects as they bite and, consequently, cause itching, transmission of diseases and/or germs or may be the cause for other diseases and/or conditions. Arthropod control compositions include active substances and when applied to skin, clothing, or other surfaces, they may discourage arthropods from landing or climbing on that surface. Arthropod control agents help preventing and controlling the outbreak of arthropod- borne diseases, such as malaria, etc. The prior art describes structurally diverse arthropod control agents, such as for example A/,/V-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (also known as DEET) or ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate (also known as insect repellent 3535, IR3535). Some of the known arthropod control agents, however, have certain drawbacks, such as being irritant to the skin, to a subject, in particular of children, and/or have negative olfactive properties, such as bad smell. There is a need to provide arthropod controlling compounds and compositions which use limited amount of or are totally free from irritant arthropod control agents. EP 1 022 265 describes the olfactory properties of some compounds used in compositions according to the present invention and their use as perfuming ingredients providing odoriferous characteristics of the lily of the valley type, but does not disclose or suggest said compounds as having an arthropod controlling effect. No prior art discloses or suggests the compounds according to the present invention as having an arthropod controlling effect.
