Abstract

Quantitative gas chromatographic method for determining the ant repellent activity of cineol, ${\alpha}$-terpineol, linalool, and piperitone which usually found in Chinese Prickly Ash Zanthoxylum piperitum DC. was developed. These monoterpenes showed higher ant repellent activities than DEET due perhaps to their volatility. Gas chromatographic method quantified the volatility of the four monoterpenes and DEET.
