Pheromones are chemical signals emitted by insects and other organisms that enable the organisms to communicate with other members of the same species. Pheromones are sometimes referred to as "perfumes," particularly those pheromones used to attract members of the opposite sex for purposes of mating. In insect control, pheromones can be used to attract insects to traps or they can be applied in artificially large amounts over a crop to so confuse insects that they fail to find mates and thus fail to reproduce. Pheromone traps are used to monitor for the pressence of pests, as control tools to capture insects, as confusants to disrupt insect mating and as lures to attract insects to insecticidal baits. Pheromone lures are packaged individually or in airtight jars. minimum Order: 10 Lures
