Muscalure's primary application lies in pest control as an attractant in traps designed to capture male houseflies. By luring males away from females, these traps effectively disrupt the reproductive cycle of housefly populations. Commercial products such as Maxforce Quickbayt utilize muscalure for this purpose, making it a critical component in integrated pest management strategies. Additionally, its role as a model compound in studies of insect pheromones contributes to our understanding of chemical ecology.

Muscalure functions primarily as a sex pheromone, crucial for the mating success of female houseflies. Its presence on the cuticle of females significantly enhances male attraction, leading to increased mating rates. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that traps baited with muscalure capture significantly more male flies compared to those without it. Additionally, muscalure is involved in other behavioral interactions among insects, such as communication during the waggle dance in bees.
