Abstract
Novel lower alkyl esters of iodo-trans-2-methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid are useful to attract the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, "Medfly," for prolonged periods of time. The esters are competitive in attraction with the current "standard" attractant, Trimedlure, but are much more persistent. The esters may be economically produced and possess the dual properties required for effective use in Medfly control programs.
