苏联的研究表明,库班叩头虫雌虫在生理成熟期所产生的性外激素的气味,能够引诱距离在800米内的雄虫。借助专门设计的诱捕器(这种诱捕器利用雌虫所分泌的性外激素或自然引诱物的提出物作诱饵),在野外每个诱捕器一昼夜能捕获2000个雄虫。如果用浓度为0.075-0.1％的化学绝育剂(?)Φ处理,雄虫的绝育可达到100％。这些资料给实际采用性外激素和化学绝育法防治叩头虫提供了依据。 Research in the Soviet Union showed that the odor of sex pheromones produced by the female beepers of Cuban bears during physiological maturation can induce males within a distance of 800 meters. With a specially designed trap, which uses bait, a pheromone or natural attractant secreted by the female, 2,000 males can be captured in the wild one day and night per trap. Male sterility can reach 100% if treated with a chemical sterilant (?) At a concentration of 0.075-0.1%. These data provide the basis for the actual use of sexual hormones and chemical sterilization methods for controlling beetles.
