Pheromones
A large number of insect pheromones have been identified, and many of these have been synthesized, and can be used as attractant lures. These lures are controlled-release devices that allow the pheromones to be released at a constant rate over a period of time. The standard lures are rubber septa or poly-vials impregnated with the appropriate pheromone or para-pheromone, and several laminate lures and beads are also available. All pheromones are sealed in impermeable pouches and cold-stored.
The following are some of the more commonly requested pheromone lures. A more detailed list is available upon request.
