There are caste differentiation pheromone and maturation-promoting pheromone in physiological pheromones, and sex pheromone, aggregation pheromone, and alarm pheromone in behavioral pheromones.

Those pheromones are used for surveillance, mass capture, attracted insecticide, mating, and disturbance, reducing overuse of chemical pesticides.
