Chamaesphecia empiformis on a red rubber septum pheromone lure. A pheromone trap is a type of insect trap that uses pheromones to lure insects. Sex pheromones and aggregating pheromones are the most common types used. A pheromone-impregnated lure is encased in a conventional trap such as a bottle trap, delta trap, water-pan trap, or funnel trap.
The trap mechanism or bait can vary widely. Flies and wasps are attracted by proteins . Mosquitoes and many other insects are attracted by bright colors, carbon dioxide , lactic acid , floral or fruity fragrances, warmth, moisture and pheromones.

A piece of cheese used as bait on a mousetrap. Bait is any appetizing substance (e.g. food) used to attract prey when hunting or fishing, most commonly in the form of trapping (e.g. mousetrap and bird trap), ambushing (e.g. from a hunting blind) and angling.
One or more fence-lines of some sort may be added to channel targets into the trap. [2] Traps may also be baited. Lures or baits of varying specificity can be used to increase the capture rate of a certain target species or group by placing them in, above or near the trap. Examples of baits include meat, dung, fruit and pheromones.
After putting the bait in the bottle the trap is placed at the desired location. Advantages: Insects can't escape from this type of trap, since they fly up along the side of the bottle, not finding the exit, which is in the middle. Bats and large moths can't enter the trap, since they are too large to fit through the funnel.
