What is Dismate?

Dismate is a powerful and professional system for controlling dried fruit moths and flour moths. It has been specifically developed for businesses that produce, process, or store food. It is a sophisticated mating disruption system that uses nature-identical pheromones to combat moth infestation and prevent it sustainably. With Dismate, you have the opportunity to fight moths effectively while maintaining ongoing operations in your facility.

How does Dismate work?

Dismate is delivered in four color-coded dispensers that are hung in the areas of your operation where food is produced, processed, or stored.

These dispensers release nature-identical pheromones over a period of three months, which confuse the male moths and disrupt mating.

As a result, the moth population is gradually reduced. High cleanliness and compliance with food hygiene regulations are crucial for the effective operation of the Dismate system.

With our pheromone traps “XLure RTU”, we also offer a monitoring and documentation system for the moth population.
