“…Especially landscapes such as residential areas, parks, commercial sites, with low density of pest, mating disruption technique are effective. Mating disruption technique was not found effective when males and females were close to each other in space and time [133]. The amount of pheromone lures is also important to increase moth captures.…”

“…Attractive plant-derived kairomones with sex-releasing pheromones increased the effectiveness of mating disruption technique [129][130][131][132]. Other successful mating disruption trials in low density have been experimented for Lymantria dispar [35,133,134] and Cydia splendana [35,135]. Especially landscapes such as residential areas, parks, commercial sites, with low density of pest, mating disruption technique are effective.…”

The intensive use of insecticides can result in environmental pollution and adverse effects on human health due to the issue of insecticide residue in the environment. To mitigate this, various control techniques, including cultural, biological, and biotechnical methods, or their combinations, can be employed to manage invasive species. One such biotechnical method that has become popular is the use of pheromones. Pheromone techniques enable early pest detection, population monitoring, mass trapping or annihilation, and mating disruption. To maximize their effectiveness, it is important to determine the exact pheromone component, optimization rate, trap design, and saturation rate for each species. In conclusion, implementing these different pheromone-based strategies is essential for providing effective pest management strategies that take regional variations in pheromones into account.

“…Other factors include the density of the pest population. For example, mating disruption is ineffective in orchards heavily infested with Platynota idaeusalis [Lepidoptera: Totricidae] (tufted apple bud moth) [63] and forests with a high density of spongy moths [64]. The mating disruption approach can further be changed into a push-pull tactic by incorporating both attractants and repellents [65].…”

Pollinators play important roles in providing pollination services, maintaining biodiversity, and boosting crop production. Even though pollinators are essential to the environment and agriculture, their decline has been noted across multiple studies in the recent past. Both natural and anthropogenic factors have contributed to their decline. Much of the focus has been placed on climate change, habitat loss, pests and pathogens, and synthetic pesticides, but relatively little is known about the effects of biopesticides. Biopesticides are biological control agents derived from living organisms and are classified into three groups: microbial, biochemical, and plant-incorporated protectant-based products. Biopesticides are formulated similarly to their synthetic counterparts and are readily available and used within urban and agricultural settings by pest management experts and household residents. The general public and much scientific literature support the prevailing idea that biopesticides are environmentally safe and pollinator friendly in comparison with synthetic versions. However, such generalizations are based on studies with a few key pollinator species and may not be relevant to several other species that provide crop pollination services. Studies focused on native pollinators have shown that some biopesticides have lethal and sublethal effects. Because each biopesticide exhibits varying effects across pollinator species, it could be dangerous to generalize their non-toxicity across taxa and environmental settings. In this article, recent research in this direction is discussed.

“…MD has been proven to be effective against low-density populations of L. dispar in the USA [179,[281][282][283][284]. On the other hand, it may not work in high-density populations where female moths are abundant and easy for males to locate, making it ineffective without the combined use of other control measures.…”

The European Spongy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), is an abundant species found in oak woods in Central and Southern Europe, the Near East, and North Africa and is an important economic pest. It is a voracious eater and can completely defoliate entire trees; repeated severe defoliation can add to other stresses, such as weather extremes or human activities. Lymantria dispar is most destructive in its larval stage (caterpillars), stripping away foliage from a broad variety of trees (>500 species). Caterpillar infestation is an underestimated problem; medical literature reports that established populations of caterpillars may cause health problems to people and animals. Inflammatory reactions may occur in most individuals after exposure to setae, independent of previous exposure. Currently, chemical and mechanical methods, natural predators, and silvicultural practices are included for the control of this species. Various insecticides have been used for its control, often through aerial sprayings, which negatively affect biodiversity, frequently fail, and are inappropriate for urban/recreational areas. However, bioinsecticides based on various microorganisms (e.g., entomopathogenic viruses, bacteria, and fungi) as well as technologies such as mating disruption using sex pheromone traps have replaced insecticides for the management of L. dispar.
