DO pheros we wear harm insects around us?

[Inthewoods]

Do those bottled mages(pheromone) harm insects in some way?

[Marlboro_man]

I am no expert but I don't

see how they could as they are replicas of what our bodies normally produce.

[SirAngel]

Only if you would drown them in

it.
I´m not quiet shure if this is a joke or not or are you a bee-keeper or are you working with insects

jobwise?
I didn´t have any reactions from insects yet...
bees,wasps etc...

You have all of the pheromones in

you..you just raise their level a bit

HI,

I posted this ´post

because I've heard that pheromones are used to control pests or something. Are those the same pheros that we buy?

Pheromones are species-specific (more or less).

I agree with bass-man, I

don't think there is a pheramone created that will "harm" insects. You may be able to get something will attract or

repell them, however. I don't believe any of the stuff we are interested in will do anything of the

sort.

yes it was hilarious, but

most seemed to agree it probably due to the scent in chikara rather than the pheromones in it. I still don't know,

it was quite embarrasing when everyone is looking at this poor kid being followed by bee's everywhere..

it? The buzz of a lifetime..yeahh :-)

Inthewoods,

Pheromones are

carriers of information, not poisons.
Although there are some similarities, indeed even commonalities of

pheromones across species lines, for the most part they tend to be species specific.

Even though some species

have been found to emit "trauma pheromones" to warn other members of it's species of danger, the pheromones used in

pest control do not in themselves harm the targets, but rather lure them into traps, or disrupt their reproductive

processes.

You may have seen "Beetle Traps" that use a beetle attractant pheromone to lure the targets into

a trap from which they cannot escape.

There is also a strategy used in farming where the pest is identified, its

sexual pheromones are mimicked, and the fields are inundated with the synthetic attractant which greatly reduces the

males' of the species ability to locate the actual breeding females who are exuding the genuine version of the

attractant. In this way the pest population is greatly reduced without the use of toxic substances, which is why

agricultural pheromone use is on the rise.

I seriously doubt that any Pheromone that we produce, or any synthetic version thereof

would do any harm to insects. There even exists the possibililty that our pheromones may help to attract insects

that feed on humans such as mosquitos or gnats. But that's just speculation on my part.

The only pheromones

that I believe would result in any harm to insects, and only indirectly at that, would be the ones mentioned above,

or those that are produced by insect eating plants which are ATTRACTANT pheromone analogs, and not harmful to the

insects in and of themselves.
