What are Pheromones?

Insects use certain chemical scents to communicate. These chemicals were first discovered over 100 years ago by entomologists who captured female moths in boxes & placed them near an open window, only to find male moths of the same species aggressively attracted to this window. Man has competed with insects since he has been on this planet & will continue to do so as long as he exists. What a human being possess in intelligence, insects overcome with persistence, reproductive capacity, size & adaptability. Insects know how to survive. Some insect species have been on this planet for over 300 million years. Stored product insects are the most damaging insects because they feed upon products that have been grown, harvested, & many times gone through processing stages, packaging stage, marketing stage, transportation stage & finally the storage stage.

Products that become infested have to be discarded causing huge financial losses.

Pheromone Monitoring Service today is the most important step in progressive pest management strategy as it helps by detecting the presence of insect pests at an early stage.

But keep in mind that installing of pheromone traps does not mean that other measures such as sanitation of an effective pest control program are reduced or abandoned.
