Provided is a pink bollworm control method that controls pink bollworms by using a mating disruption method to disturb the mating of the pink bollworms. The method including at least: a step in which cotton seedlings are planted in a field 21-41 days after the appearance of adult pink bollworms if said adult pink bollworms are a first generation, or 1-21 days after the appearance of adult pink bollworms if said adult pink bollworms are a second or later generation; and a step in which a controlled-released sexual pheromone formulation including at least Z,Z/Z,E-7,11-hexadecadienyl acetate, which is a pink bollworm sexual pheromone substance, is placed in the field 2-15 days before the predicted adult appearance date for the next generation of adults of said pink bollworms, as derived from effective accumulated temperature, and the sexual pheromone substance in the controlled-release sexual pheromone formulation is released in the field.

Disclosed is a composition of volatile and less-volatile pheromone components that can be used alone or in combination with other compounds to attract and/or arrest bed bugs of both sexes and all developmental stages. This blend can be used to bait traps that are effective in capturing bed bugs in infested premises or can be combined with a pesticide that is lethal to bed bugs.
