The Value of Monitoring

Few people realize the extent of valuable information that can be gained from using Monitoring traps ...

When used consistently, monitoring traps can provide the user with much of the following information

  1. Confirmation of the presence or absence of insects at any location.
  2. Accurate pinpointing of the exact sources of those infestations.
  3. Estimate of the magnitude of the infestation.
  4. Verification of the effectiveness of previous treatments.

This information can be used to limit the application of unnecessary chemical treatments and to achieve more effective control and more accurate timing of chemical applications.

 

 

The Benefits of Monitoring

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.
