The cyclized peptides disclosed can be used to repel, control, or deter Frankliniella spp., including Frankliniella occidentalis, and other insects from feeding on agricultural and horticultural plants. The cyclized peptides can be combined with bait materials, or applied directly to plants or areas. The peptides may also be produced by genetically modified plants or genetically engineered microbes, to express these peptides.
