Methyl Eugenol is used in pheromone traps that attract male Tephriditae flies of the Order Diptera, including Oriental fruit fly, Mediterranean fruit fly, and solenaceous fly.
It is used in agricultural fields and orchards where the pests are prevalent.
Entrapment of the male counterpart significantly curbs mating success and thus, infestation.
