Description

An insect trap that uses a synthetic pheromone as a bait. Pheromones are endogenous chemicals secreted in tiny amounts by some animals and insects to communicate with other members of its species. Each type of pheromone is specific to a given species. Pheromone traps may be used in conjunction with a pesticide to kill the insects or they may be used to monitor an area for the presence of insects.
