Trials were carried out with pityolure, the synthetic female sex pheromone of Thaumetopoea pityocampa , to test the various possibilities of its use in the management of the pest. Practical application consists of macromapping of infested and non‐infested areas, early detection of new foci of infestation, and timing of sprays with insecticides. Brief mention is made of possible uses not yet applied in practice, such as control by mating disruption, control by mass trapping and monitoring of the population level. Des essais sur le pityolure, phéromone synthétique sexuelle femelle de Thaumetopoea pityocampa , ont permis de tester diverses possibilités d'utilisation pour la lutte contre cet organisme nuisible. Parmi les applications pratiques sont la macro‐cartographie des lieux infestés ou non infestés, la détection précoce de nouveaux foyers d'infestation et la détermination des dates d'application de pulvérisations d'insecticides. Quelques utilisations possibles mais non encore appliquées sont brièvement mentionnées: lutte par confusion des mâles, lutte par piégeages en masse et contrôle des niveaux de population.
