Used primarily as a pheromone mimic in pest control, especially in agricultural settings. It disrupts the mating behavior of certain insect species by confusing male insects, preventing them from locating females. This reduces reproduction and helps manage pest populations without the use of traditional insecticides. Commonly deployed in traps or dispensers for monitoring or controlling moth species that damage crops like fruits and vegetables. Its specificity makes it environmentally friendly, targeting only certain pests while sparing beneficial insects.
