Blattellaquinone

Blattelaquinone is a pheromone used by the German cockroach.

Layman's explanation: This pheromone was identified and synthesized by the Roelof group in the Department of Entomology, Cornell University, in 2005. It is produced in the sex-pheromone producing glands of the female German cockroach (blattela germanica). In the future it might find application in trapping cockroaches as they are worldwide the most common residential and food-associated pests.
