“…For example, Doud and Phillips (2000) captured higher numbers of Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hü bner), outside a ßour mill and in the gallery above grain silos adjacent to the mill than inside the mill and speculated that moths may be moving from source populations associated with the silos into the mill. Pest species are also sometimes captured far away from anthropogenic structures (e.g., Strong 1970, Cogburn and Vick 1981, Sinclair and Haddrell 1985, Vick et al 1987, which supports the hypothesis that long distance dispersal is possible; although these captures also may indicate feral populations in the proximity of the traps (Khare and Agrawal 1964, Howe 1965, Stein 1990, Wright et al 1990). In some cases, trap captures drop off as distance from a grain storage structure increases (Cogburn andVick 1981, Doud and.…”

“…Although it has been widely reported that many species of stored-product insects can be captured outside Cline 1989, 1991;Fields et al 1993;McGaughey 1994, Doud and, sometimes far from anthropogenic structures (Strong 1970, Cogburn and Vick 1981, Sinclair and Haddrell 1985, Vick et al 1987, the source and importance of these outside populations is not well understood. In this study, T. variabile and P. interpunctella males were captured in high numbers outside of a food facility.…”

The distribution and dispersal distances of insects outside of food processing and storage facilities potentially have an important influence on the population dynamics and spatial distribution of insects inside facilities. In this study, Trogoderma variabile Ballion and Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) sex pheromone-baited trap captures outside and inside a food processing facility were measured, the relationship between trap captures outside and inside the facility was evaluated, and the dispersal ability of the males of these species was assessed using self-mark-recapture stations. T. variabile and P. interpunctella males were captured in high numbers outside the food facility. The two species differed in their spatial distribution around the facility, with T. variabile being more closely associated with the proximity of the building, but most likely originating from sources outside the building. For marked T. variabile, the average recapture distance was 75 m (range 21-508 m) and for marked P. interpunctella the average recapture distance was 135.6 m (range 21-276 m). In an immigration/emigration experiment, three T. variabile marked outside were recaptured inside, but no T. variabile marked inside were recaptured outside and no marked P. interpunctella were recaptured in either location. The potential for outside populations to influence inside populations has implications for the effectiveness of different management and monitoring tools.

“…Additionally, trapping of S. cerealella revealed that this moth can occur several kilometers away from storage facilities or maize fields (Cogburn & Vick 1981). Seasonal changes in the abundance of stored-product moths outside storage facilities and their likelihood to migrate towards the storage areas were also reported from other parts of the USA (Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Carolina), with Plodia interpunctella, Ephestia cautella and S. cerealella being more active during the warmer summer months while Ephestia kuehniella peaked during January and February (Vick et al 1987). In all cases the Indian meal moth appears as an abundant pest near food-processing, milling, warehouses and storage facilities with possibly established reservoirs from which re-infestation is most likely (Dowdy & McGaughey 1998, Doud & Phillips 2000, Campbell & Arbogast 2004, Campbell & Mullen 2004, Arbogast 2005, White 2011).…”

More than a pest management tool — 45 years of practical experience with insect pheromones in stored-product and material protection

The application of pheromone-baited traps to control pest insects in stored food or materials has become well established over the past decades. The main pheromone components of all major stored-product and material pests have been identified. Pest monitoring with pheromone traps is a key factor in integrated pest management to estimate population density build-ups and they may be used to define economic threshold levels. Male-attracting sex pheromones, e.g. for stored-product pyralids, the clothes moths, and some anobiid beetles, are especially effective in this aspect.Monitoring pest population can facilitate optimal spatial and temporal control strategies, including efficacy evaluation of the implemented control measures. In addition to the sex pheromones, some beetles, such as grain and flour beetles, utilize aggregation pheromones, which attract both sexes. Implementation of these pheromones for mass trapping, which works well for the control of bark beetles in the forest environment, has been less successful for stored-product protection for various reasons and is thus not an established means of control.When the monitoring tools are used in landscape areas, scrublands, forests, and away from anthropogenic influenced environments, natural reservoirs of a pest species and sources of new infestations can be identified. In addition to an economically driven adoption of pheromone traps, they may also provide information of a pest´s general biology. Because stored-product and material pests must be considered neozoons in most parts of the world, their occurrence in natural habitats indicates a species' autecological capability to successfully compete with native species and to become faunistically established in non-synanthropic environments outside their zoogeographic origin. This review focuses on the use of pheromone traps for monitoring in outdoor situations.

“…IMM larvae feed mainly on stored food products but also on rice and grains in agricultural fields ( Vick et al , 1987;Anderson & Löfqvist, 1996 ). Mature fifth-instar larvae exit their food source and, in this wandering stage, seek pupation sites in crevices within their habitat ( Williams, 1964 ;Z.…”

Cocoon‐spinning larvae of Oriental fruit moth and Indianmeal moth do not produce aggregation pheromone

1 Mature larvae of the Oriental fruit moth (OFM) Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and the Indianmeal moth (IMM) Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) leave their food source in search of suitable pupation sites in which to spin cocoons. These sites are typically well-concealed cracks and crevices within the environment. Such cocooning behaviour is also observed in larvae of the codling moth (CM) Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), which aggregate prior to pupation in response to a pheromone blend produced by cocoon-spinning conspecific larvae. 2 In laboratory experiments, we tested whether cocoon-spinning OFM and IMM larvae produce aggregation pheromones and whether CM larvae are crossattracted to closely-related OFM larvae. 3 Fifth-instar OFM and IMM larvae were not attracted to, or arrested by, cocoonspinning conspecifics. Moreover, fifth-instar CM larvae were not cross-attracted to either cocoon-spinning OFM or IMM larvae. 4 Analyses of volatiles released from cocoon-spinning OFM and IMM larvae revealed that both OFM and IMM lack components that are present in the aggregation pheromone of CM larvae. This information may help explain why CM larvae are not cross-attracted to cocooning OFM or IMM larvae.
