SPLAT (Specialized Pheromone and Lure Application Technology) is a biologically inert matrix for the release of semiochemicals and/or pesticides. Semiochemicals (such as synthetic pheromones) and some insecticides are volatile compounds which require an appropriate delivery system to optimize and modulate their release in a manner that offers the best insect attraction in the time period desired. ISCA possesses a range of technologies that can dispense, optimize and modulate the semiochemical and/or insecticide release in mating disruption or attract and kill pest management programs. Due to its amorphous and flowable quality, SPLAT offers the most flexible method of applying pheromone mating disruption and attract and kill formulations; it easily accommodates a variety of application methods ranging from manual applicators including the SPLAT Flicker Gun and Metered Dosing Gun for precise applications, to automated ground applicators which allow for rapid coverage of large fields, to aerial application for large scale, region-wide treatment.
