The invention relates to a method (100) used to produce an attractant composition (120) and to an attractant composition (120) to attract bloodsucking arthropods (31) and/or fruit flies. In this context, a porous substrate is loaded with a buffer system, in which context the buffer system is at least largely completely absorbed by the porous substrate. Subsequently, at least one attractant is introduced into the substrate loaded with the buffer system.

The present disclosure relates to liquid dispensing products comprising spray dispensers and methods of using such products.

A bait composition comprising an insecticidally effective amount of isocyloseram and a bait material comprising an insect food attractant and/or an insect food flavorant. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for controlling an insect pest or an insect pest population comprising applying an insecticidally effective amount of said bait composition to a locus or environment of known or likely insect activity.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for controlling an insect pest or an insect pest population comprising applying an insecticidally effective amount of said bait composition to a locus or environment of known or likely insect activity.

A controlled-release dispenser article for controlling insects. The article includes a dispenser body having a biodegradable carrier and an active ingredient. The biodegradable carrier is a material that, when combined with the active ingredient, provides controlled-release of the active ingredient into the environment. The active ingredient includes at least one component that manipulates insect behavior. A method for making the controlled-release dispenser article and a method manipulating insect behavior with the controlled-release dispenser are also disclosed.

Methods of attracting marine life and methods of stabilizing marine feeds or attractants in flowing water involve submerging stable marine attractant feed block products in water for at least 12 hours where a portion of the feed block dissociates from itself and another portion of the feed block remains intact after about 12 hours. Marine life is attracted to the dissociated portions of the feed block dissociated, and/or to the portion of the marine attractant feed block that remains intact. The feed block includes at least one of a marine feed or attractant, a binder composition, the binder composition comprising a hardening agent and a cross-linked edible polymer comprised of an edible acid and a gelatinized starch, and a sugar component, where the at least one of the marine feed or attractant is retained within a web defined by the binder and distributed throughout the marine attractant feed block.

The present disclosure provides use of sativene, and a recombinant biocontrol fungus and a muscardine cadaver and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of genetic engineering. The present disclosure provides use of sativene in insect attraction and/or pest control. The sativene are attractive to insects. A higher concentration of the sativene has a stronger attraction on mosquito and Drosophila larvae; the Drosophila larvae respond to the sativene even at a level as low as 10.sup.?11 g. The sativene also be attractive to Galleria mellonella larvae. The present disclosure further provides a recombinant biocontrol fungus, including a recombinant fungal expression plasmid, where the recombinant fungal expression plasmid is inserted with a pine longifolene synthesis gene. In the present disclosure, the recombinant biocontrol fungus has increased synthetic amounts and volatilized amounts of the longifolene and sativene, resulting in an enhanced attraction to insects.
