Lure Attachment:
IMPORTANT: Do not include lures for other target species in the trap when surveying for this target.
Lure Notes:
All lures can be placed in the same location on the trap following the instructions for cross vane panel traps shown at the Attaching lures to traps link above. To facilitate ease of lure replacement, you can separate them on three carabiners or zip ties as follows:
Put the three 90-day lures onto a carabiner/zip tie (Fuscumol acetate Lure, 6-Ketone Lure, and 6-Diol Lure)
Put the Monochamol Lure (28d) onto a 2nd carabiner/zip tie
Put the Ethanol Lure and Geranyl Acetol Lure (56d) on third carabiner/zip tie
Put the three 90-day lures onto a carabiner/zip tie (Fuscumol acetate Lure, 6-Ketone Lure, and 6-Diol Lure)
Put the Monochamol Lure (28d) onto a 2nd carabiner/zip tie
Put the Ethanol Lure and Geranyl Acetol Lure (56d) on third carabiner/zip tie
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.
Time of Year to Survey:
Traps should be placed from around 750-800 GDD (Base 50° F) until at least 1600 GDD. This corresponds with June to August/September in the northeast.
For states with warmer winter temperatures, traps should be placed by early April and should run through August/September.
For states with warmer winter temperatures, traps should be placed by early April and should run through August/September.
