In general, all pheromone traps should be placed at eye level for optimum performance, but pheromone traps will perform at higher or lower levels as well.

These traps are installed in the fields at the rate of 5-7 traps per hectare for monitoring and 15-20 traps per hectare for mass trapping.

Attach the trap to a bamboo, wooden stake or hang on a tree branch. If traps are used for monitoring the pests, 2-3 traps are enough for 1 hectare. For mass trapping, use 30-40 traps per acre. The simplest pheromone trap can also be prepared using one-liter clear plastic bottles commonly used for beverages.

Make 10 to 12 holes into an old 1 liter plastic bottle or 3 holes on each side of 1 liter ice cream container, to allow moths to enter. Heat a small piece of metal to make the holes easily. Put a wire from the cover to suspend the bait. Secure the pheromone dispenser align with the entrance holes inside the trap.

Using specific pheromones, traps can be used to monitor target pests in agriculture or in residential areas. By constantly monitoring for insects, it may be possible to detect an infestation before it occurs. Early detection of pest insects using pheromone traps can also lessen damage to agriculture and other plants.

The effectiveness of pheromone traps depends on the species of insect we are trying to control and the way we use the traps. Are pheromone traps safe? Absolutely. In many cases, they can eliminate or reduce the need for toxic chemical sprays.

General Guidelines for Using Pheromone Traps Use a minimum of one trap per 5 acres for both regular (1 mg) and supercharged (10 mg) traps. Check traps twice a week until the biofix is established; thereafter, check traps weekly. Remove trapped insects from the trap after you count and record results (example form—PDF).

nr. Pheromone lure composed of red natural rubber and appropriate for most pheromones. The nr type lure must not be pulled over another object unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Aggregation pheromones have evolved in various insect groups, but in many cases, the pheromone components generally consist of multiple compounds mainly including volatile aldehydes, alcohols, esters, ketones, aromatic compounds, and terpenoids.
