METHYL EUGENOL

Methyl eugenol is a naturally occurring organic compound found in various plants, particularly in essential oils. Methyl eugenol is used as an attractant in insect traps for the control of certain fruit flies, such as the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) and the melon fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae). Male fruit flies are attracted to methyl eugenol, making it easier to monitor and manage pest populations.
