Different Technologies, Same Objective
Pheromone mating disruption is an effective pest control tool. We have three main technologies to deliver our highest quality pheromones when and where you need them. Organic options available.
Puffer®
Aerosol release technology for precise and continuous season-long control.
Suterra invented and perfected aerosol mating disruption. The Puffer® is used on more acres than any other aerosol mating disruption product in the world to lower damage from Navel Orangeworm, Codling Moth, Oriental Fruit Moth, and other agricultural pests.
Sprayable
Sprayable solution for improved flexibility and control.
CheckMate® sprayable formulations are tank-mix compatible with many common materials growers already use like fertilizers and insecticides, making them an easy addition to existing IPM (integrated pest management) programs. Affordable and ready when you are.
Celada
Innovative resin properties precisely control the release rate.
Celada ensures ease of use with an integrated hook designed to withstand all harvest operations and provide attachment flexibility. Discover our innovative new features that elevate the convenience and performance of mating disruption's most established platform.
BioMagnet
The most innovative "attract and kill" system.
BioMagnet is placed in the field and is effective for several months. The powerful attractant brings the fly to the device, contacting the insecticide coating upon landing. The unique formulation and special application method guarantee pest control throughout the field with less spraying.
What is Mating Disruption?
Mating disruption uses pests’ own sexual communication signals to confuse them. These communication signals are chemicals called pheromones, and they have no effect on any other species but the target pest. With extra pheromone in the air, males can’t find females to mate. Less mating means less offspring, and less offspring means less crop damage.

Growers & Partners
"Being able to use CheckMate® NOW-F by air allowed us to cover 100% of our ground with mating disruption. It tank-mixed easily with our existing fungicide flights and didn't require any changes to our spray schedule or gear. It's one of the simplest additions we’ve ever made to our IPM program and the ROI has been outstanding."
Rob Weaver
Pest Control Advisor | F&T Farms - Campos Brothers
“We have a couple of blocks of apples that consistently have high codling moth populations year after year. This year, we decided to use CheckMate CM 2.0 [flowable], and it has successfully reduced our trap catches to below the threshold. Moving from historically high catches to below-threshold levels has been great for those blocks.”
