The Benefits of Using Monitoring Traps

 

... and some of the loudest demands being heard are those calling for the reduction of pesticide applications.

The use of alternative methods of pest management will help to achieve some of those demands and pheromone-based systems will play a useful role in doing this. It must be made clear that these biological alternatives are not to be considered as pesticide replacements, but rather as supplements or additional tools that will eventually lead to the reduction of pesticides. With this more realistic expectation, biological pest management alternatives such as pheromones will play an important role in achieving future goals.

It is very important

to detect the presence of insect pests as early as possible, since this allows for control measures to be taken at precisely the right moment. Pheromone monitoring is a valuable tool for early detection:

  1. It helps us identify the type of pest, when it is present and where it is present.
  2. It enables us to establish thresholds as to whether further control is necessary.
  3. It gives an accurate indicator of when spray applications should be made.
  4. It confirms the success of treatments.
