The present disclosure relates to compositions containing a mixture of e.g. one or more or two or more compounds released by a citrus plant in quantities that are altered during infection with Huanglongbing disease, where the composition is an attractant for psyllids. Furthermore, compositions contain one or more active compounds which constitute a synthetic chemical blend for attracting psyllids. Active compounds in the compositions may include, for example, one or more compounds selected from linalool, tridecane, 4-OH-4-Me-2-pentanone, hexacosane, 1-tetradecene, tricosane, geranial, tetradecanal, phenylacetaldehyde, methyl salicylate, cumacrene, (E)-beta-ocimene, hexadecanol, and geranyl acetone.
