Diseased elms, treated with various doses of cacodylic acid in northwest England, became attractive to elm bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae). This attraction seemed to be independent of pheromone baits. However attractive the trees became, they were unsuitable to the beetles as breeding sites since significantly more beetles visited the trees than were stimulated to penetrate and attempt to breed. It seems as if colonization of trap trees by the bark saprophytePhomopsis oblonga following cacodylic acid treatment made the trees unsuitable to beetles for breeding.
在英格兰西北部，用不同剂量的二甲胂酸处理患病的榆树后，这些榆树对榆树皮甲虫（鞘翅目：小蠹科）变得有吸引力。这种吸引力似乎与信息素诱饵无关。然而，无论这些树变得多么有吸引力，它们都不适合甲虫作为繁殖地，因为有明显更多的甲虫访问这些树，而不是受到刺激穿透并试图繁殖。似乎是由于二甲胂酸处理后腐生菌 Phomopsis oblonga 殖民于树的树皮，使得这些树不适合甲虫繁殖。
