From the supplier: Food companies have begun exploring the use of pheromones as a non-toxic means of pest control. Pheromones are perfumes secreted by insects to attract mates. Pheromones lures in specialized traps can be used to attract insects and monitor the degree of stored-product insect infestation. Insects can also be eliminated by placing lures near time-mist foggers containing phyrethin or surfaces treated with residual insecticide cyfluthrin.
