“…Bucket traps tend to trap more bumblebees when yellow and/or white colors are used compared with green (Hamilton et al 1971, Gross and Carpenter 1991, Herman et al 1994, Meagher 2001. Other beneÞcial insects such as syrphid ßies are more attracted to white than to green or black traps, resulting in the adoption of green-roofed sticky traps for tortricid orchard pests in Germany as early as 15 yr ago (Krause 1990).…”

“…and sweat bees (e.g., Lasioglossum spp. ), than darker colored traps (Hamilton et al 1971, Gross and Carpenter 1991, Meagher and Mitchell 1999, Clare et al 2000, Weber et al 2005, Mori and Evendon 2013, Kemp and Cottrell 2015. Similarly, Asian ladybird beetle traps 4 (semitransparent blue) catch higher numbers of bees and are thus more effective for monitoring bee diversity than yellow Japanese beetle traps (Stephen and Rao 2005).…”

Pheromone Lure and Trap Color Affects Bycatch in Agricultural Landscapes of Utah

et al. 2016

Aerial traps, using combinations of color and attractive lures, are a critical tool for detecting and managing insect pest populations. Yet, despite improvements in trap efficacy, collection of nontarget species ("bycatch") plagues many insect pest surveys. Bycatch can influence survey effectiveness by reducing the available space for target species and increasing trap screening time, especially in areas where thousands of insects are captured as bycatch in a given season. Additionally, bycatch may negatively impact local nontarget insect populations, including beneficial predators and pollinators. Here, we tested the effect of pheromone lures on bycatch rates of Coccinellidae (Coleoptera), Apoidea (Hymenoptera), and nontarget Lepidoptera. Multicolored (primarily yellow and white) bucket traps containing a pheromone lure for capturing one of three survey target species, Spodoptera litura (F.), S. littoralis (Boisduval), or Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), were placed in alfalfa and corn fields, and compared to multicolored traps without a pheromone lure. All-green traps with and without H. armigera lures were employed in a parallel study investigating the effect of lure and trap color on bycatch. Over 2,600 Coccinellidae representing seven species, nearly 6,400 bees in 57 species, and >9,000 nontarget moths in 17 genera were captured across 180 traps and seven temporal sampling events. Significant effects of lure and color were observed for multiple taxa. In general, nontarget insects were attracted to the H. armigera lure and multicolored trap, but further studies of trap color and pheromone lure specificity are needed to better understand these interactions and to minimize nontarget captures.

“…The effect of trap color (Strom and Goyer 2001, Roubos and Liburd 2008, Semeao et al 2011, shape (Vernon and Gillespie 1995), size (Vernon andGillespie 1995, Liburd et al 1998), and texture of the outer surface (Hamilton et al 1971, Granovsky 1983) on trap efÞcacy has already been demonstrated for other insect pests. Singh et al (2012) conducted a series of laboratory experiments measuring the factors that may affect the efÞcacy of bed bug monitors.…”

Effect of Trap Design, Chemical Lure, Carbon Dioxide Release Rate, and Source of Carbon Dioxide on Efficacy of Bed Bug Monitors

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bed bugs, (Cimex lectularius L.), are difficult to find because of their nocturnal and secretive behavior. In recent years, a number of monitors containing carbon dioxide (CO2), chemical lures, heat, or both, to attract bed bugs have been developed for detecting bed bugs. Ineffective trap design, lack of attraction of chemical lures, high cost of the CO2 delivery system, or insufficient CO release rates are some factors that limited the wide adoption of these monitors. To develop an affordable and effective monitor, we conducted a series of laboratory and field tests. Specifically, we tested a new pitfall trap design, a chemical lure mixture, different CO2 release rates, and a sugar and yeast mixture as CO2 source. Results show the new pitfall trap design was significantly more effective than Climbup insect interceptor, the most effective passive monitor available in the market for bed bugs. The experimental chemical lure mixture increased Climbup insect interceptor catch by 2.2 times. Results exhibit a distinct positive relationship between the CO2 release rates and bed bug trap catches. There were no significant differences between CO2 derived from cylinders and CO2 generated from sugar and yeast mixture in their attractiveness to bed bugs. The findings suggest an effective and affordable monitor can be made incorporating the new pitfall trap design, a sugar and yeast mixture, and a chemical lure.
