Abstract
Herein disclosed is an annular sustained release pheromone-dispenser which has a shape favorable for packaging and transportation, can easily be installed, can maintain its installed condition over a long time period and can easily be handled even after use without any trouble. Also provided is a tool for easily and rapidly installing a pheromone-dispenser at elevated spots of, for instance, fruit trees. The sustained release pheromone-dispenser comprises a plurality of plastic tubesandarranged in parallel and capable of being semi-resiliently deformed, whose endsare connected together by fusion and whose central portions are independent and can form a annular space therebetween by pulling them apart from one another; and a liquid synthetic sex pheromoneenclosed in these plurality of plastic tubeswithout impairing the pheromone-release capacity. The toolfor installing an annular sustained release pheromone-dispenser has hooksfor attaching or detaching the annular sustained release pheromone-dispenser which are pulled apart from each other. The hooksare positioned on both upper ends of the wire and the lower endof the wire is secured to the top end of a rod
