The effect of temperature on t was striking. When the temperature changed from 30 to 20 C, t values changed from 1.96 to 4.91 days (a factor of 2.5) for 10 Ac and from 553 to 2,070 days (a factor of 3.7) for 16 Ac. These results show that male moths responding to their synthetic sex pheromone evaporating from rubber septa will experience substantial variation in evaporation rates.

Control of corn rootworm was obtained in a unique way by the spraying of tiny plastic tubes dropped by plane or helicopter. The tubes were coated by a three-part mixture consisting of a synthetic sex pheromone to lure the male beetles, compounds from the squash and cucumber family to encourage feeding, and a minute amount of an appropriate insecticide.
