“…Efficacy of pheromones on capturing angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella in stored rice grain as found in the present investigation is in agreement with theme of David et al (1998);Phillips (1997); Vick et al (1981); Levinson et al (1999); Suss et al (1986); Trematerra et al (1987);andTrematerra (1988, 1990). David et al (1998) showed that pheromones Xlure had attractant, repellent, insecticidal and juvenile hormone activity against several species of insect pests including stored product pest larvae of Lepidoptera and Culex quinquefasciatus.…”

“…Phillips (1997) reported that aggregation pheromone systems are highly tied to food resources, as feeding is required by males to produce pheromone and optimum response by females and males is achieved when the aggregation pheromone is released together with food odors. According to Vick et al (1981), release rate should be optimized for best performance of a lure. If pheromone release is too low then a lure may be ineffective simply because a threshold for insect response is not met.…”

An experiment on the efficacy of pheromone on capturing angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Entomology, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh, using rice variety BR11. Pheromone (X-lure) trap was used as a treatment and data were recorded at different days and distances. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications. In case of total captured moth, the highest percentage (%) was recorded at 1 st day (28.60%), whereas the lowest percentage (%) was recorded at 15 th day (7.60%). It was also observed that with the increase of distance of pheromone trap, the % of captured moth was decreased. The pheromone X-lure was found useful only for monitoring S. cerealella (Olivier).

“…The main uses of pheromones for stored-product pests are as attractant lures in traps for detection and monitoring storage pests (Phillips 1997), in food storage areas, processing factories (Hoppe and Levinson 1979;Vick et al 1981Vick et al , 1986, wheat storage bins (Hagstrum 2000), in and around ßour Mills (Doud and Phillips 2000) and pilot feed mills (Roesli et al 2003). Pheromone lures for P. interpunctella are often deployed in sticky traps that offer advantages over visual inspections (Mullen and Dowdy 2001), and are valuable tools for determining spatial and temporal distribution and encourage the use of integrated pest management programs (Mueller 1998) and in enclosed environments are useful for making management decisions against insect pests (Burkholder and Ma 1985).…”

Three attract-and-kill formulations, a gel, a wax panel, and a plastic cylinder were tested in simulated warehouses at three densities of devices and at three densities of moths, Plodia interpunctella Hübner, per room. Wax panels and the cylinder formulations suppressed all the densities of moths with only one device per room. Two field experiments were then conducted during 2005 and 2006 in replicated commercial pet food and grocery stores that harbored natural populations of P. interpunctella. In the summer of 2005, the wax panel formulation suppressed adult male response to monitoring traps and also reduced the numbers of larvae in food bait oviposition cups after the first month of being established. This suppression was maintained until the third month. The second field experiment in 2006 compared three pheromone-based methods of moth suppression in buildings with moth populations in untreated buildings. The mass-trapping treatment showed the lowest adult moth capture after the first month of the experiment until the end of the third month. However, this treatment was similar statistically to use of attract-and-kill panels, mating disruption, and untreated control establishments in most of the weeks. Monitoring of larvae in food cups revealed the pheromone-based methods were not significantly different from each other, but that they suppressed moth populations in most of the weeks when compared with untreated control buildings. This research shows potential for successful pheromone-based suppression methods for Indianmeal moths in commercial applications.

“…Ganyard (1971) used traps baited with virgin females as natural pheromone sources and captured less than one male moth per trap per day at outdoor locations up to 1.2 km from grain storages. A limited trapping study by Vick et al (1981) with synthetic pheromone found P. interpunctella and the almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker), inside a food warehouse, but no moths were trapped outdoors on the loading dock. Cogburn and Vick (1981) trapped C. cautella at rates of 18.8 and 23.8 moths per trap per week both inside and immediately outside rice storage bins, respectively, but recorded only 0.1Ð 0.4 moths per trap per week at Þeld sites 10 Ð 40 km away.…”

Studies were conducted at two flour mills where male Indian meal moths, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), were captured using pheromone-baited traps. Objectives were to determine the distribution of male P. interpunctella at different locations in and around the mills throughout the season, and to monitor moth activity before and after one of the mills was fumigated with methyl bromide to assess efficacy of treatment. Commercially available sticky traps baited with the P. interpunctella sex pheromone were placed at various locations outside and within the larger of the two mills (mill 1). Moths were captured inside mill 1 after methyl bromide fumigations. The highest numbers of P. interpunctella were caught outside the facility and at ground floor locations near outside openings. Additional traps placed in the rooms above the concrete stored-wheat silos at mill 1 during the second year captured more moths than did traps within the mill's production and warehouse areas. In another study, moths were trapped at various distances from a smaller flour mill (mill 2) to determine the distribution of moths outdoors relative to the mill. There was a negative correlation between moth capture and distance from the facility, which suggested that moth activity was concentrated at or near the flour mill. The effectiveness of the methyl bromide fumigations in suppressing moth populations could not be assessed with certainty because moths captured after fumigation may have immigrated from outside through opened loading bay warehouse doors. This study documents high levels of P. interpunctella outdoors relative to those recorded inside a food processing facility. Potential for immigration of P. interpunctella into flour mills and other stored product facilities from other sources may be greater than previously recognized. Moth entry into a food processing facility after fumigation is a problem that should be addressed by pest managers.
