Abstract
The last chapter discussed the use of semiochemical-based traps for population control through mass trapping. This theme will now be continued but ‘lure and kill’ techniques differ in one respect: the insect, once attracted by the semiochemical lure, is not ‘entrapped’ at the source of the attractant by adhesive, water or any other physical device. Instead, the insect is subjected to a killing or sterilizing agent, which effectively eliminates it from the population. This technique has been variously descried as ‘lure and kill’, ‘attracticide’ or ‘attraction-annihilation’ (Lanier, 1990), though the latter concept would also include mass trapping as described in Chapter 10.
