These novel SPLAT pheromone mating disruption formulations can provide effective season long suppression effect ( e . g ., depending on the target pest a single application of SPLAT controls the target pest for a complete reproductive cycle, or for the entire season ) and can be manually or mechanically applied.

It was found that the first aerial campaign was performed using an incomplete ( the wrong ) pheromone blend of the light brown apple moth ( the wrong blend decreased tremendously the likelihood of success of the mating disruption program ), and the LBAM microencapsulated formulation was untested, and finally, microencapsule formulations are notoriously known for their short field life, weak and erratic performance.

Only Two mating disruption products have been approved by the USDA Forest Services for use in the STS program : Hercon Disrupt and ISCA Technologies's SPLAT GM . These mating disruption products are formulated with the gypsy moth sex pheromone, and have been aerially applied to millions of acres since the early 1990s, which has successfully slowed the spread of the gypsy moth from the northeastern United States to the rest of the continent.
