The invention consists of a mixture of organic chemicals avoiding the use of insecticides, and a method for pest control based on the mixture consisting in bringing about the premature eclosion of the hibernating larva and its possible death through inanition; experimentation has demonstrated it to be effective in bringing about the premature eclosion of the pecan nut casebearer or Acrobasis nuxvorella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on pecan trees (Carya illinoiensis). The objective is to provide an ecological method for controlling pests such as the pecan nut casebearer, in this manner reducing or avoiding the use of inorganic chemical insecticides which have a significant impact on the environment.
