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.
