• • Yellow sticky traps attract adult whiteflies, flower thrips, fungus gnats, and leafminers
• • Bright blue traps attract flower thrips
• • Sticky traps are available for indoor structural pests as well.

Types of Traps

• 1. Pheromone Traps: Individually packaged pheromone attractant traps are available for monitoring some species of insects. The traps are baited with a lure that mimics the odor given off by females to attract males for mating. The traps are used to find out when the main flights of adult insects occur so that management tactics can be timed to have the greatest effect. For example, orchard growers use pheromone traps to time codling moth sprays so that they are used when the most moth eggs are hatching into caterpillars.
• 2. Plastic pitfall traps are used for crawling pests in the field as well as in stored grain bins. The species and number of insects found in a trap should be recorded and charts constructed so that changes in population size can be noticed.
• 3. Light traps (black light traps) are attractive to some insects, but pheromone traps offer increased flexibility in deployment and specificity.

Trapping Program is a holistic and sustainable approach to address pest-related challenges. The program is meticulously designed to incorporate environmentally conscious methods, reducing the reliance on conventional pesticides. By strategically deploying a variety of traps, we aim to both monitor and control pest populations effectively. The cornerstone of our program lies in the careful selection and placement of traps. These traps are crafted with precision, using materials that are both durable and environmentally friendly. The design ensures that they specifically target the identified pests while minimizing any impact on non-target species, promoting biodiversity. The trapping process serves a dual purpose: monitoring and control. Through routine checks and data collection from the traps, we gain valuable insights into the behavior and population dynamics of the pests. This data-driven approach allows us to make informed decisions and tailor our interventions to the specific needs of each situation. Furthermore, the traps are equipped with advanced technology, such as sensors and remote monitoring capabilities. This not only enhances the efficiency of the trapping process but also enables real-time tracking of pest activities. The collected data is analyzed using sophisticated algorithms, providing a comprehensive understanding of the pest life cycle and patterns. By reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides, our IPM Trapping Program mitigates the potential harm to beneficial insects, wildlife, and the environment. This eco-conscious strategy aligns with sustainable agricultural practices and promotes a healthier, more balanced ecosystem. In summary, our Integrated Pest Management Trapping Program offers a cutting-edge and environmentally responsible solution to pest-related issues. Through a combination of precision traps, advanced technology, and data-driven decision-making, we strive to create a pest management strategy that is effective, sustainable, and considerate of the surrounding ecosystem.
