MedKoo Cat#: 592217 | Name: Disparlure

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Disparlure is a potent sex pheromone used primarily for the monitoring and management of Lymantria dispar, commonly known as the gypsy moth. This compound, a cis- and trans- 7,8-epoxy-2-methyloctadecane mixture, is highly specific in attracting male gypsy moths, making it a valuable tool for population surveillance and mating disruption strategies. By deploying Disparlure in traps or as part of integrated pest management (IPM) programs, it helps detect infestations, limit moth reproduction, and reduce the spread of this invasive species. Its effectiveness, environmental safety, and species-specificity make it a widely used pheromone in forestry and agricultural pest control.
