Discovery and Development of Chemical Attractants Used to Trap Pestiferous Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae).
Landolt P, Zhang QH. Landolt P, et al. J Chem Ecol. 2016 Jul;42(7):655-65. doi: 10.1007/s10886-016-0721-z. Epub 2016 Jul 19. J Chem Ecol. 2016. PMID: 27435228 Review.
Of these attractive chemicals, commercial lures marketed in North America for trapping wasps generally contain heptyl butyrate, or the combination of acetic acid and 2-methyl-1-butanol. Heptyl butyrate is a very good attractant for two major pest wasp …

Identification of a novel plant-derived attractant for Acromyrmex lobicornis leaf-cutting ants.
Alma AM, Fernandez PC, Perri D, Buteler M. Alma AM, et al. An Acad Bras Cienc. 2019 Aug 19;91(3):e20181008. doi: 10.1590/0001-3765201920181008. An Acad Bras Cienc. 2019. PMID: 31432904 Free article.
Finally, we evaluated whether heptyl butyrate increases the attractiveness of a carbohydrate resource at varying doses. Heptyl butyrate at 1% attracted 92% more ants than the control and that it was as attractive as orange pulp. ...

Attraction and antennal response of the common wasp, Vespula vulgaris (L.), to selected synthetic chemicals in New Zealand beech forests.
El-Sayed AM, Manning LA, Unelius CR, Park KC, Stringer LD, White N, Bunn B, Twidle A, Suckling DM. El-Sayed AM, et al. Pest Manag Sci. 2009 Sep;65(9):975-81. doi: 10.1002/ps.1782. Pest Manag Sci. 2009. PMID: 19479964
This work was undertaken to develop synthetic attractants for these species to enable more efficient monitoring and management. RESULTS: Seven known wasp attractants (acetic acid, butyl butyrate, isobutanol, heptyl butyrate, octyl butyrate and 2,4-hexa …

Enhanced Trapping of Yellowjacket Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) via Spatial Partitioning of Attractants.
Liang D, Pietri JE. Liang D, et al. Insects. 2017 Feb 6;8(1):17. doi: 10.3390/insects8010017. Insects. 2017. PMID: 28178183 Free PMC article.
Usually, attractants are placed within the trap and combined indiscriminately, though little is known about how this design influences trap attractiveness or efficacy. Here, using the common attractant heptyl butyrate in combination with chicken extract, we demonstr …

Associative Learning of Food Odor by Social Wasps in a Natural Ecosystem.
El-Sayed AM, Jósvai JK, Brown RL, Twidle A, Suckling DM. El-Sayed AM, et al. J Chem Ecol. 2018 Oct;44(10):915-921. doi: 10.1007/s10886-018-0984-7. Epub 2018 Jul 19. J Chem Ecol. 2018. PMID: 30022298
Electroantennogram (EAG) response profiles of wasps from the three locations to benzaldehyde, isobutanol, acetic acid, n-octanol and heptyl butyrate were similar. The high similarity in DNA sequences and EAG profiles, with only a behavioral difference in the respons …

Species Composition, Abundance and Seasonal Phenology of Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in Wisconsin Vineyards.
Guédot C, Hietala-Henschell K, Lois AN. Guédot C, et al. Insects. 2018 May 31;9(2):57. doi: 10.3390/insects9020057. Insects. 2018. PMID: 29857557 Free PMC article.
In this study, we conducted two experiments to assess the species composition and seasonal phenology of social wasps in Wisconsin vineyards in 2015 and 2017. In 2015, three attractants were used: (1) wine; (2) heptyl butyrate (HB); and (3) acetic acid and isobutanol …

Short- and long-term control of Vespula pensylvanica in Hawaii by fipronil baiting.
Hanna C, Foote D, Kremen C. Hanna C, et al. Pest Manag Sci. 2012 Jul;68(7):1026-33. doi: 10.1002/ps.3262. Epub 2012 Mar 6. Pest Manag Sci. 2012. PMID: 22392920
The goals of the present study were (1) to evaluate the immediate and long-term efficacy of a 0.1% fipronil chicken bait on V. pensylvanica populations in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, (2) to quantify gains in efficacy using the attractant heptyl butyrate in the b …

Lachancea thermotolerans, a Yeast Symbiont of Yellowjackets, Enhances Attraction of Three Yellowjacket Species (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) to Fruit Powder.
Babcock T, Borden J, Gries R, Carroll C, Moore M, Gries G. Babcock T, et al. Environ Entomol. 2018 Dec 7;47(6):1553-1559. doi: 10.1093/ee/nvy139. Environ Entomol. 2018. PMID: 30239659
In field experiments, addition of Concerto to fruit powder doubled its attractiveness to yellowjackets. Addition of the Concerto/fruit powder bait to a heptyl butyrate-based wasp lure revealed a weak additive effect. A three-component synthetic analog blend of volat …

Cloning, expression, and characterization of a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 50106 in E. coli.
Kirschner A, Altenbuchner J, Bornscheuer UT. Kirschner A, et al. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2007 Jan;73(5):1065-72. doi: 10.1007/s00253-006-0556-6. Epub 2006 Aug 31. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2007. PMID: 16944127
Examination of the substrate spectra using whole-cell biocatalysis revealed a high specificity of the BVMO for aliphatic open-chain ketones. Thus, octyl acetate, heptyl propionate, and hexyl butyrate were quantitatively formed from the corresponding ketone substrate …
