WIPO Patent Application WO2002013607

A3

A method has been discovered for attracting Colorado potato beetles to an area of object or area, which method involves treating the object or area with a Colorado potato beetle attracting composition (with or without an insecticide) containing a carrier material and a Colorado potato beetle attracting effective amount of (a) (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, (+/-)-linalool, nonanal, and methyl salicylate, (b) (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, (+/-)-linalool, and methyl salicylate, (c) (Z)-3-hexen-1-o1, (E)-2-hexen-1-o1, and (+/-)-linalool, (d) (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate and methyl salicylate, or (e) (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate and(+/-)-linalool. Furthermore, a method has been discovered for repelling Colorado potato beetles from an object or area, comprising treating the object or area with a Colorado potato beetle repelling composition (with or without an insecticide) containing a carrier material and a Colorado potato beetle repelling effective amount of (Z)-3-hexen-1-o1, (E)-2-hexen-1-o1, (+/-)-linalool, nonanal, methyl salicylate, and ss-caryophyllenne.
