Likelihood of Establishment Map A Likelihood of Establishment Map is now available. This survey should only be considered in the states with appropriate weather conditions and suitable hosts for this insect. The map was produced by the SAFARIS Team. SAFARIS is a modeling framework that enables PPQ to quickly respond to emergencies, efficiently survey for pests, and assess potential pest impacts by collecting critical geospatial data and developing predictive models. SAFARIS is developed and maintained by the NC State University, Center for Integrated Pest Management (CIPM) with support from PPQ PERAL. The SAFARIS team used a weather suitability model for European spruce bark beetle occurrence in the continental United States, which was developed by PPQ PERAL and NCSU CIPM, to support CAPS survey planning. The model predicts the suitability of an area for European spruce bark beetle occurrence based on the likelihood of favorable weather conditions for the insect occurring using tools and data within SAFARIS. The detailed method used in this assessment is described here.

IMPORTANT: Do not include lures for other target species in the trap when surveying for this target.
The release rate of this lure is highly temperature-dependent. However, CAPS has listed a conservative length of effectiveness that will be effective for even the warmest weather in the CAPS community.
Other Scolytinae In the Northeastern U.S.: Ips avulses, Ips perroti, Ips perturbatus, Ips pini, and Ips plastographus.
