Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods of attracting Drosophila suzukii , involving treating an object or area with a Drosophila suzukii attracting effective amount of a composition containing acetoin and at least one compound selected from ethyl octanoate, acetic acid, ethyl acetate, phenethyl alcohol, or mixtures thereof; wherein said composition does not contain ethanol.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A composition for selectively attracting Drosophila suzukii , said composition comprising: (a) an effective selectively Drosophila suzukii attracting amount of at least acetoin, and ethyl octanoate, wherein said composition does not contain ethanol and 2-methyl-1-butanol; and (b) optionally a carrier. 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein said composition further comprises acetic acid. 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein said composition further comprises ethyl acetate. 4. The composition of claim 3 wherein said composition further comprises phenethyl alcohol. 5. An insect trap comprising the attracting composition of claim 1 . 6. An insect trap comprising the attracting composition of claim 2 . 7. An insect trap comprising the attracting composition of claim 3 . 8. An insect trap comprising the attracting composition of claim 4 . 9. A method of attracting Drosophila suzukii , said method comprising treating an object or area with a Drosophila suzukii attracting effective amount of a composition comprising acetoin and ethyl octanoate, and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, ethyl acetate, phenethyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof; wherein said composition does not contain ethanol. 10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein said composition does not contain 2-methyl-1-butanol. 11. A method of attracting Drosophila suzukii , said method comprising treating an object or area with a Drosophila suzukii attracting effective amount of a composition comprising acetoin and ethyl octanoate, and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, ethyl acetate, phenethyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof; wherein said composition does not contain 2-methyl-1-butanol. 12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein said composition does not contain ethanol. 13. A composition for attracting Drosophila suzukii , said composition comprising: (a) an effective attracting amount of at least acetoin, and ethyl octanoate, wherein said composition does not contain 2-methyl-1-butanol; and (b) optionally a carrier. 14. A composition for selectively attracting Drosophila suzukii , said composition comprising: (a) an effective selectively Drosophila suzukii attracting amount of at least acetoin, and ethyl octanoate, wherein said composition does not contain ethanol; and (b) optionally a carrier. 15. The composition according to claim 1 , said composition further comprising an insecticide for Drosophila suzukii.
