Described herein are systems and methods for attracting insects to a trap or surface containing insecticide. One embodiment described herein is an insect attractant releasing system comprising a quantity of a volatile insect attractant where the attractant is released at a defined rate and has a particular product lifetime under field conditions. In another embodiment, the attractant releasing system is integrated into an apparatus having insecticide immobilized on one or more surfaces where attracted insects can crawl or land and contact the insecticide, which subsequently kills the insects.

The present invention relates to a Bactrocera oleae attractant composition comprising at least one terpene and at least one carbonyl compound as active substances, and at least one excipient.

Compositions and methods for controlling pests are disclosed. The compositions can be electrostatically charged, can be attractive for translocation by the social insects into nesting, tunneling, and/or gathering structures of the social insects, or both. Kits comprising the compositions and a powder delivery device operable to electrostatically charge a pest control composition during delivery are also disclosed.
