2. Pheromone trap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromone_trap

   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. Pheromone traps are used both to count insect populations by sampling, and to trap pests such as clothes moths to destroy them.

3. Insect pheromones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_pheromones

   Aggregation pheromones, in addition to sex attractants, play a significant role in the development of pheromone traps for selective pest control. [ 65 ] Studies using electroantennogram techniques showed that aggregation pheromones elicited relatively high receptor potentials in a sex-nonspecific manner, whereas sex pheromones elicited high ...

4. Indianmeal moth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianmeal_moth

   These traps are known as pheromone traps. Male moths are attracted by the female pheromone (the lure) and stick against the sticky walls inside the box. [30] The efficiency of traps is doubtful as they only capture males, and usually only a fraction of them, while adult females, eggs and larvae are unaffected, enabling a possible reinfestation.

5. Moth trap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moth_trap

   A simple light trap A more complex moth trap. Entomologists primarily use light-based moth traps, which exploit the phototactic behavior of moths, attracting them to a light source. Moths navigate by using natural light sources such as the moon and stars, and artificial light sources can confuse and draw them in.

6. Pheromone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromone

   Pheromones of certain pest insect species, such as the Japanese beetle, acrobat ant, and the spongy moth, can be used to trap the respective insect for monitoring purposes, to control the population by creating confusion, to disrupt mating, and to prevent further egg laying.

7. Mating disruption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_disruption

   Usually the effect of disruption of orientation of the male moths to females (or monitoring pheromone traps) can be detected by the reduction in moth capture in monitoring pheromone traps. The government campaign using areawide aerial microencapsulated pheromone applications failed to show any sign of mating disruption on the light brown apple ...
