Codlemon is an insect pheromone that serves as the sex pheromone of the codling moth and Cydia caryana. It is used in pheromone traps for biological pest control.

Approval

In the European Union, codlemon was approved as an attractant under the designation (E,E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-ol, effective September 1, 2009, alongside numerous other straight-chain butterfly pheromones.

Pesticide products containing this active substance are approved in several EU member states, including Germany and Austria, as well as in Switzerland.
