Best Answer

Pheromone disruption, in a nutshell, is when you expose pest insects to high amounts of their sex pheromones. This causes the males of the species to become confused and unable to contact and mate with as many females, causing the offspring numbers to be reduced dramatically. Pheromone distruption, also known as communication disruption, is commonly used in pest control on cash crops.
