The compound 1-methyl-2-(1-methylethenyl)-cyclobutaneacetic acid (grandisoic acid) has been found to be useful as an aggregation pheromone for plum curculio weevils. Both male and female plum curculios are attracted to the compound, particularly to the (+)-1R,2S enantiomer. The plum curculio is a major pest of stone and pome fruits. When applied to the habit of these pests via a pheromone dispenser, the compound has utility as a monitoring and/or control agent.
