What Are the Benefits of Insect Pheromones?
Pheromones are chemicals released from the bodies of insects and other species for communication purposes. These potent chemical messengers are carried by wind over great distances. During the lifetime of an insect, it relies on hundreds of pheromones for locating food, mating, suppressing competition and avoiding predators. Humans have studied insect pheromones during the last century, making scientific breakthroughs that now allow insect pheromones to be a reliable and eco-friendly source of pest management.
