The present disclosure generally relates to the field of biological control of Ectropis. oblique and Ectropis grisescens as pests in tea plantations, and in particular to a high efficient sex pheromone lures for E. oblique and E. grisescens. By combinating (3Z,6Z,9Z)-octadecatriene with two different configurations of (3Z,9Z)-6,7-epoxy-octadecadiene and (3Z,6Z)-9,10-epoxy-octadecadiene, high efficient sex pheromone lures were obtained. The high efficient sex pheromone lures have significantly improved trapping effect on E. oblique and E. grisescens.
