Abstract  Pheromones are widely used to monitor and control insect pests. Without considering specific pheromones, this paper discusses key considerations for deploying insect pheromone attractants, including dosage, height, position, product categories, influencing factors, dispensers, coverage and duration. Suggestions for further research and future prospects for the application of insect pheromones are provided to improve the effectiveness of insect pheromone products.
