Fundamentals of Stored-Product Entomology textbook in Table 3.1 on page 43 lists 35 studies on mating disruption and mass trapping of stored-product insects using pheromones. The following list of references adds 27 other studies and 10 literature reviews on the subject. A recent approach to mating disruption is to dust male moths with a powder containing female sex pheromone. Also see the use of pheromones for attracticide or attract and kill, and pathogen autodissemination references on the Incomplete Insecticide Coverage page on this website.
