Abstract
Methods and compositions of attractants are described which provide vapor blends of citric acid, malic acid or tartaric acid and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of isobutanol, racemic 2-methyl-1-butanol, S-(−)-2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol, butyl butyrate, hexyl butyrate, heptyl butyrate, octyl butyrate and nonyl butyrate which function as highly effective attractants for yellowjacket wasps and other types of vespidae. By attracting wasps to traps or baits, the chemical attractants provide a means for detecting, surveying, monitoring, capturing, trapping and controlling the wasps.
