Mating disruption uses pheromone-based products to confuse adult moths and prevent them from reproducing.
When an area is treated with a mating disruption product, the scent of the female moth floods the area and confuses male spongy moths so they cannot find females. Because the spongy moths are at the end of their life cycle, they die without reproducing. The product does not actually kill moths; it just carries the scent and prevents reproduction
Pheromones are non-toxic compounds that insects use to communicate. The female spongy moth does not fly and must attract the male moths with pheromones.
SPLAT GM-O is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified organic, non-toxic, biodegradable formulation for the control of spongy moth. It is made of food grade materials and has the consistency of hand cream. SPLAT GM-O uses pheromone to disrupt spongy moth mating habits without impacting other insects, mammals, or the surrounding environment.
