Mating disruption uses pheromone-based products to confuse adult moths and prevent them from reproducing. Mating disruption floods the area with the scent of the female moth and confuses male spongy moths so they cannot find females. They die without reproducing. The product does not actually kill moths.

Pheromones are non-toxic compounds that insects use to communicate. The female spongy moth does not fly and must attract the male moths with pheromones.
