Pheromone
We synthesize pheromone active ingredients to customer specifications. The same technical team manages each route from laboratory development and analytical validation through pilot scale-up and production transfer.

From pheromone TGAIs to finished lures and traps, we support route development, supply and application planning.
We synthesize pheromone active ingredients to customer specifications. The same technical team manages each route from laboratory development and analytical validation through pilot scale-up and production transfer.
The pheromones are loaded into sustained-release carriers through carrier systems such as rubber septa. Some attractants incorporate plant-derived synergists, and the developed formulations are compatible with various types of dispensers.
We help match pheromone lures and traps to the target pest, crop and monitoring objective for forestry, orchard, garden and field applications.
Our core work is multi-step synthesis with control of double-bond geometry (Z/E) and chirality. Custom isomer ratios are available according to customer specifications and technical feasibility.
Species-specific pheromone blends are designed for the target pest. We develop slow-release lures and reusable traps, and specify the release period for each lure product.
From route development to field deployment, we develop the synthesis, supply the active ingredient, and help match the lure, trap and placement to the crop and pest.
On November 10, 2026, the US Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced a public consultation on its updated draft pest risk assessment for fresh figs from Mexico. Comments are due December 11, 2026. Mexico already has access to the US market for fresh figs under existing safeguards. The notice opens a review of the assessment; it does not announce a new import requirement or report a pest detection.
A grower case published by CABI PlantwisePlus on November 5, 2026 describes how Claudia Sainz combined regular pest monitoring with biological control and habitat management in her tomato greenhouse in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Yellow and blue sticky traps were used alongside pheromone traps for tomato leaf miner. The case offers a practical example of monitoring as one part of integrated pest management, or IPM.
We supply formulators, lure brands and distributors with product selection, specification alignment and application support.
Catalog Compounds
Pest Profiles
Production Facilities
Ecophero supplies 240+ catalog insect pheromone compounds linked to 150 pest profiles, together with custom synthesis, lures, traps and application support.
Pheromone lures attract a target pest species to monitor population levels and to support mass trapping or mating disruption, enabling precise, eco-friendly control that protects pollinators and beneficial insects.
Yes. The same technical team manages route development, analytical validation, pilot scale-up and production transfer. Custom isomer ratios are available according to the agreed specification and technical feasibility.
Ecophero delivers IPM solutions for orchards, field crops, forestry and home gardens, covering monitoring, lures, traps and mating disruption dispensers.
Share your contact information to discuss product selection or a custom synthesis project. If a catalog product does not match the agreed specification, our chemistry team can evaluate a custom route and scale-up plan.
