Chemical compound

Heptyl butyrate is an ester that is naturally occurring in fresh apples, plums, and babaco fruits. It is the condensation product of heptyl alcohol and butyric acid. It is available commercially for use as bait in traps yellowjackets and wasps and is specific for these types of pests rather than honeybees and other beneficial insects. It is considered a "safe, food-grade compound" by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
