The invention provides in part dialkoxybenzene compounds for controlling infestation by a Trichoplusia ni, and methods thereof. The compounds include a compound of Formula I:where R1 may be methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl (3-methylbutyl) or allyl R2 may be at positions 2, 3 or 4 and may be H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl (3-methylbutyl) or allyl and R3 may be optionally present at positions 2, 3 and 4, and is allyl except that when R2 is at position 2, R3 if present is at position 3, and when R2 is at position 3, R3 if present is at to positions 2 or 4, and when R2 is at position 4, R3 if present is at position 2, and when R2 is at position 4 and R3, if present, has reacted with an OH group at position 1 in a Markovnikov sense, then R3 becomes R4, a dihydrofuran.
