Abstract
A chemical agent useful for controlling pests is disclosed. The agent can be a thiol, such as a cyclic thiol according to Formula I. The agent can be used to react with a targeted biochemical analyte secreted by pests, such as bed bugs, to provide an adduct. The agent can be useful in a pest control device, system, or method for detecting pests, which can involve use of a controller and a sensor cell coated with composition containing the agent. The disclosure also describes the adduct obtained from the agent and the analyte, as well as a composition containing the agent or adduct.
