Moths and pheromones
06-27-2012 2:15 PM
There are a lot of moth traps for flour moths which include pheromone lures.
Does anyone know what's in those? I know Bombykol is a pheromone for some moths, but I couldn't find anything which states it's the pheromone for flour moths. I'm considering contacting the company or seller to find the pheromone, since I'd like to have a good bit of the stuff outside my house in the hopes I can lure the moths away or confuse them.
Edit: Z-9, E-12-Tetradecadien-1-yl acetate seems to be one pheromone used
in moth pheromone traps. It seems to target many moths and butterflies.

So maybe if I buy this stuff I'll end up getting gang raped by monarch butteflies. I guess that's the risk I have to take.
