Abstract
Novel attractants for the Mediterrean Fruit Fly, "Medfly," are disclosed. The attractants comprise isomeric blends of esters of iodo-trans-2-methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid. In use, the attractants are competitive in attraction with the "standard" Medfly attractant, Trimedlure, "TML," but are much more persistent than TML.
