Compositions and lures are described which provide synthetic chemical attractants which function as highly effective attractants for male and female moths, primarily moths of the family Noctuidae. In one aspect, the attractants provide an effective attractant amount of vapor of 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-1-pentanol or mixtures thereof. In another aspect, the attractants provide vapor blends of acetic acid and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-2-butanol, and 3-methyl-1-pentanol. By attracting male and female moths to traps or baits, the chemical attractants provide a means for detecting, surveying, monitoring, and controlling the moths.

US Classification:
424405000
Abstract:
Compositions and lures are described which provide synthetic chemical attractants which function as highly effective attractants for male, female, or male and female moths, primarily moths of the family . In one aspect, the attractants provide an effective attractant amount of β-myrcene and phenylacetaldehyde or benzyl acetate. In another aspect, the attractants provide an effective attractant amount of phenylacetaldehyde and methyl-2-methoxybenzoate, but do not include methyl salicylate. By attracting moths to traps or baits, the chemical attractants provide a means for detecting, surveying, monitoring, and controlling lepidopteran pests.

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:
A01N 2524
US Classification:
424 77
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling the papaya fruit fly are described. The novel system is a combination of the male papaya fruit fly sex pheromone, 2-methyl-6-vinyl-pyrazine, and a fruit mimic.
Chemical Attractants For Yellowjackets And Paper Wasps

International Classification:
A01N 2500 A01N 2518 C12P 754
US Classification:
424 84
Abstract:
Compositions and lures are described which provide vapor blends of acetic acid and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of isobutanol, racemic 2-methyl-1-butanol, S-(-)-2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol, heptyl butyrate, and butyl butyrate which function as highly effective attractants for yellowjacket wasps and paper wasps. By attracting wasps to traps or baits, the chemical attractants provide a means for detecting, surveying, monitoring, and controlling the wasps.
