  • Patent number: 5149525
    Abstract: The attractiveness of the male-produced aggregation pheromones from nitidulid beetles is greatly enhanced by certain organophosphorus insecticides. Combinations of pheromone and insecticide typically attract substantially more beetles than the pheromone alone, and the combinations afford the advantage of both attracting and killing the beetles.
