ABSTRACT:
An insect trap is provided which contains an attractant comprising a sufficient amount of unsaturated oxacyclododecanone selected from the group consisting of (Z-12-methyloxacyclododec-4-en-2-one (I),(Z,Z)-12-methyloxacyclododeca-4,7-dien-2-one (II), and the alkyl substituted products of the foregoing, the amount of the attractant being sufficient so as to effectively attract O. mercator beetles. The attractant may also comprise an aldehyde, preferably hexanal, octanal, or nonanal, and preferably in combination with I or II, or both.
