• farm animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep and goats
• poultry such as chickens, turkeys and geese
• fur-bearing animals such as mink, foxes, chinchillas, rabbits and the like
• domestic animals such as cats and dogs, but also humans.
• Ticks may be divided into hard and soft ticks, and are characterised by infesting one, two or three host animals. They attach themselves to a passing host animal and suck the blood or body fluids. Fully engorged female ticks drop from the host animal and lay large amounts of eggs (2000 to 3000) in a suitable crack in the floor or in any other protected site where the larvae hatch. These in turn seek a host animal, in order to suck blood from it. Larvae of ticks which only infest one host animal moult twice and thus become nymphs and finally adult ticks without leaving the host they have selected.
• Ticks are responsible world-wide for the transmission and spread of many human and animal diseases. Because of their economic influence, the most important ticks are Boophilus, Rhipicephalus, Ixodes, Hyalomma, Amblyomma and Dermacentor. They are carriers of bacterial, viral, rickettsial and protozoal diseases and cause tick-paralysis and tick-toxicosis. Even a single tick can cause paralysis whereby its saliva penetrates into the host animal during ingestion.
• ticks Diseases caused by ticks are usually transmitted by ticks, which infest several host animals.
• diseases for example babesiosis, anaplasmosis, theileriasis and heart water disease, are responsible for the death or impairment of a large number of domestic and farm animals in the entire world.
• Ixodide ticks transmit the agent of the chronically harmful Lyme's disease from wild animals to humans. Apart from the transmission of disease, the ticks are responsible for great economic losses in livestock production. Losses are not confined to the death of the host animals, but also include damage to the pelts, loss of growth, a reduction in milk production and reduced value of the meat.
• fleas on domestic animals and pets likewise still represents for the owner a problem which has not been satisfactorily resolved or can only be resolved at considerable expense.
• fleas are not only troublesome, but are carriers of disease, and transmit various fungal diseases from host animal to host animal and to the animal keeper, particularly in moist, warm climatic areas, for example in the Mediterranean, in the southern part of USA, etc.

• the present active ingredients are preferably used in diluted form. Normally, they are brought to the final application form by using appropriate formulation excipients, and they then contain between 0.1 and 95% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 90% by weight of the active ingredient.
• suitable formulation excipients are the excipients and administration forms that are known in cosmetics. They may be administered in the form of solutions, emulsions, ointments, creams, pastes, powders, sprays, etc.
• liquid or semi-liquid formulations For administration to farm animals or pets, such as cows, horses, asses, camels, dogs, cats, poultry, sheep, goats, etc., the so-called ‘pour-on’ or ‘spot-on’ formulations are especially suitable; these liquid or semi-liquid formulations have the advantage that they only have to be applied to a small area of the pelt or plumage, and, thanks to the proportion of spreading oils or other spreading additives, they disperse by themselves over the whole pelt or plumage, without having to do anything else, and become active over the whole area.

For a qualitative evaluation, these images are observed in a time-lapse as a continuous film, optically following the movements of the parasites on the filter paper and comparing them with the movements in the control well no. 6 or with the standard in the 5th well. A qualitative observation is thus made as to whether the test parasites move evenly over the whole surface of the filter paper and ignore the test substance, or whether and over what period they avoid the treated zone, and what influence the dilution of the test substance has on the behaviour of the test parasites. In this way, neutral and deterring substances are determined. At the same time, the duration of activity of the test substance is determined and compared with that of the standard.

• the test is carried out as described above, with ca. 60 to 100 larvae being added per well. 10 mg of dissolved test substance is applied to an area of 2.4 cm 2 radius.
• An evaluation of the video images shows that the compounds of formula I display marked deterring action against Bophilus larvae, which lasts considerably longer than that of DEET. Particularly marked long-term activity is shown for example by compounds nos.1.26 to 1.36, 1.40, 1.45, 1.47, 1.95, 1.96, 1.97, 1.137, 1.139, 1.140, 1.141, 1.142 and 1.143 even up to a dilution of 10 ⁇ g/cm 2 .
• a test is carried out analogously to example B using ca. 40 to 50 nymphs.
• An evaluation of the video images shows that the compounds according to the invention display good deterring action.
• the compounds are notable for their almost complete deterring action, which lasts considerably longer than that of DEET.
• Particularly marked long-term activity is shown for example by compounds nos. 1.27, 1.29, 1.32, 1.34, 1.36, 1.40, 1.45, 1.59, 1.96, 1.137, and 1.139, even up to a dilution of 10 ⁇ g/cm 2 .
• test substances are tested for their attractant activity to various species of fly, such as Musca domestics . It is shown that the substances mentioned above display strong deterring action even with these tested models.
