Abstract
Compositions, methods and apparatus provide for the control of Ixodid hard tick populations. The compositions comprise a cholesteryl ester and 2,6-dichlorophenol. In combination, these compounds attract and induce mating behavior in male ticks thus disrupting normal mating, with subsequent reduction in tick populations.
