Pheromone traps are devices used to attract and capture specific insects using synthetic versions of natural chemicals called pheromones. These pheromones are released by insects to communicate with one another, often for mating purposes. By mimicking these scents, pheromone traps can effectively lure pests, helping to monitor and control their populations in agricultural and residential settings. These traps are commonly used for various pests, including moths, beetles, and flies. They are an environmentally friendly pest management tool, as they reduce the need for chemical pesticides. Pheromone traps can also provide valuable information about pest activity and population dynamics.
