Description

Trimedlure

Trimedlure is a high-purity, synthetic terpene derivative used primarily as a pheromone attractant in agricultural, research, and pest management applications. It is one of the most effective male attractants for the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), widely used in detection, monitoring, and control programs across the agricultural industry. Trimedlure
• Is a synthetic pheromone attractant for entomological and agricultural use
• Is highly effective for monitoring and control of Mediterranean fruit fly populations
• Is used in lures, traps, and pest surveillance systems
• Provides long-lasting volatility and field stability
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Trimedlure is chemically designated as tert-butyl-4(or 5)-Chloro-2-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate, a mixture of geometric isomers. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with moderate volatility, providing extended field activity under varied climatic conditions.
In agricultural and research applications, Trimedlure is used in:
• Monitoring and trapping systems for Ceratitis capitata detection and control
• Integrated pest management (IPM) programs for fruit fly population suppression
• Field studies and laboratory research on insect pheromone behavior
• Formulations combined with carriers or controlled-release matrices for extended activity
• Regulatory and eradication programs for invasive species management
Trimedlure acts as a species-specific male attractant, allowing efficient monitoring of fruit fly populations and targeted control strategies. Its use helps reduce pesticide dependence and environmental impact through precision pest management techniques.
CarboMer supplies Trimedlure with control over purity, isomeric composition, and stability. The material is suitable for regulated agricultural and research applications requiring consistent pheromone performance.
The material is packaged in sealed, light-resistant, tamper-evident containers. It is available in laboratory, pilot, and field-scale volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (GC, IR), purity, isomeric ratio, specific gravity, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer specialty chemicals and pheromone-grade materials, Trimedlure is supported by technical guidance, quality assurance, and reliable global distribution to ensure effective, consistent, and compliant field performance.
