Lure Notes:
The lure is contained in a sealed polypropylene vial and will last for 1 month in the field with a two-year expiration date when stored in a freezer. The vials need to stay sealed (lids are glued in place) and not punctured. The vials will appear empty but they do contain the described pheromone.
The pheromone will slowly be released through the wall of the plastic vial when it is deployed with the Plastic Delta Trap. Each vial has a little loop for hanging in or onto the trap. The lure will be shipped in packets containing 5 polypropylene vials. The packets will have a clear label stating the date of manufacture, field duration, expiration date and a notice not to open or puncture the vial when it is deployed in the field. The MSDS Sheet is posted on the CAPS R&C Site: Diprion pini lure MSDS

Survey Recommendations
The following are recommendations for executing the survey using the approved methods for pest surveillance. The recommendations are developed through literature review and consultation with subject matter experts.
Key Diagnostic or Identification
Approved Method(s)
ID/Diagnostic:
Morphological: There are 13 world species in the Diprion genus. All Diprion are very similar in general appearance and examination of the female ovipositor and male genitalia are the most reliable means for separation of the species.
Mistaken Identities:
The genus Diprion is most similar to species of Neodiprion and Gilpinia. Species of Gilpinia are the most similar-looking; species of the two genera are often confused. For a key separating North American genera of Diprionidae, see Smith (1974).
Similar species that may show up in traps in the United States are species of Neodiprio, Diprion similis, Gilpinia hercyniae, and Gilpinia frutetorum.
Similar species that may show up in traps in the United States are species of Neodiprio, Diprion similis, Gilpinia hercyniae, and Gilpinia frutetorum.
