I know for a fact it's possible to make insects act a certain way using pheromones:

>Hornet scouts look for bee hives to attack>When a scout successfully spots one, she'll secrete a pheromone from her mouth that tells all the other hornets where to go>This specific pheromone can be tracked by them from miles and miles away and if we figure out exactly what they secrete, we can use this to lure them into traps.
