Welcome to International Pheromone Systems Ltd - What do we do?

Insects communicate by means of scents - pheromones:- chemicals used for 'signalling'. With these they both locate and identify their mates. Pheromones are communication chemicals. They are natural chemicals emitted in tiny quantities in the form of a vapour by virtually all known insects. They are frequently concerned in the mating process. Each insect species has its own unique signature scent. In fact, sex provides us with a powerful means of surveillance and control in the insect world.

A female insect typically puffs out a thousand millionth of a gram of her signature several times a minute. Males of her species follow this scent to mate with the female. It follows that if you can identify and then duplicate that scent, you have the means of controlling the males of that species.
