Methyl Eugenol is used as an attractant for certain insects, particularly fruit flies and some species of pests. It acts as a lure, attracting and trapping insects for monitoring or control purposes in agricultural settings. By using Methyl Eugenol as an attractant, farmers and researchers can gain valuable information about pest populations, behaviour, and distribution.

Method of application:

Methyl eugenol is applied as an attractant for insects, primarily fruit flies, by placing it in monitoring traps or bait stations. The liquid is typically applied to a cotton wick or rope, which is then placed inside a trap containing a small amount of water and possibly insecticide.
