TWIST-TIE MD2 is a non-toxic device developed for the application of the mating disruption technique on food moths. This control method, based on the use of the identical sexual pheromone of food moths, makes it possible to reduce the number of insecticide applications within the establishments to be treated, thanks to the significant reduction in the population of target insects. By releasing a very high concentration of sex pheromone, 50 times higher than that used for monitoring food moths, the product saturates the antenna receptors of the males of the target species, making it impossible for them to locate the females. This disruption therefore prevents mating and the proliferation of the infestation.
Target insects: Plodia interpunctella, Ephestia kuehniella.
Additional Target insects: (based on the scientific literature, the same pheromone is percieved also by these moths) Ephestia elutella, Cadra caulella, Cadra calidella, Cadra figulilella.
Its’ composed of:

– blue silicone rod with ferrite
– sexual pheromone (9Z,12E)-Tetradeca-9,12-dien-1-yl-acetate (CAS: 30507-70-1)
