Booklice Liposcelis bostrychophila are efficiently attracted by the combination of 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine and ultraviolet light.

TMP enhanced the UV light attraction for booklice while pyrazine and dimethylpyrazines diminished it. Use of these attractant and repellent pyrazine derivatives together with UV-light would enable us to develop a practical new way to monitor and capture booklice.
