Pheromones are used by insects to communicate. Sexual pheromones allow males to track females. Attack or alarm pheromones tell bees to join in the attack on an enemy.
Pheromone disruption, in a nutshell, is when you expose pest insects to high amounts of their sex pheromones. This causes the males of the species to become confused and unable to contact and mate with as many females, causing the offspring numbers to be reduced dramatically. Pheromone distruption, also known as communication disruption, is commonly used in pest control on cash crops.
Insects use pheromones to communicate with each other in two main ways. One is when insects such as ants leave a pheromone trail for other members of the colony to follow to a food source. The other way is to release pheromones to indicate when they have found food; bees and some others use this method.
Bats help us by eating 100 bugs per hour or more , by eating more than 1000 bugs in 1 night and by pollinating flowers and other things etc.
The male Japanese beetle produces a specific protein that binds to the female pheromone molecules, effectively neutralizing them. This protein likely possesses a unique structure that allows it to recognize and interact with the chemical composition of the pheromones. By binding to these molecules, the protein prevents the females' signals from being detected, disrupting mating behaviors. This evolutionary adaptation helps males compete for mates by reducing the effectiveness of female pheromone signaling.
Anomis sabulifera, known as the beach moth, has a life cycle that includes egg-laying, larval, pupal, and adult stages. Larvae feed on various plants. Control measures for Anomis sabulifera may involve using pheromone traps to monitor populations, practicing crop rotation, and employing biological controls such as beneficial insects that prey on the larvae.
The opposite could be pheromone which attracts some insects.

Pheromone signals are detected as odors.
none there all bad
yes bats are useful they eat insects and only during night
A pheromone is a signal detected as a smell.
no the will kill all your plants by eating them.
Some common methods for trapping insects include using sticky traps, light traps, bait traps, pheromone traps, and vacuum suction traps. Sticky traps use adhesive surfaces to trap insects, while light traps use ultraviolet light to attract insects. Bait traps use attractive lures to lure insects in, and pheromone traps use insect hormones to attract specific insect species. Vacuum suction traps physically suck insects into a containment chamber.
all of them they help keep the useful ones alive in a food chain which is useful to us
A quadrat is a small plot that is used in ecology that isolates an area for study. It is useful for studying insects by helping to measure the percentage cover for insect species.
By destroying large numbers of harmful insects.
