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.

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 a special application method guarantees pest control throughout the field without 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.
