Attractants are chemical substances that attract animals, especially insects. Attractants can be used for various purposes, including agriculture, scientific research, pest control, and even medical research.
Examples of attractants include pheromones, which are released by animals to attract mates during the breeding season, as well as chemical substances used in insect traps. For example, pheromones can be used to attract male insects into traps, which helps control pest populations in agriculture without the need to use chemical insecticides.
