Research Abstract	For moths induced by a light trap and pheromone trap, I checked the seen supersonic effect of the insecticide effect with Noontides absorbing fruit juice. In moths of the pyralidid department, tussock moths, moth of the lappet department, there were few coming flying populations to the supersonic wave ward. In addition, as a result of having checked supersonic wave reactivity of common cutworm （Spodoptera litura）, I understood that I could expect a supersonic insecticide effect by choosing the pulse length, the pulse frequency. I recorded the Indian meal moth（Plodia interpunctella）communication sound of the male to give and checked the reaction threshold with a man-made sound.
