TRAPS
A large variety of traps are available for monitoring
and trapping flying insects.
Sticky Traps
Sticky traps come in two types; wet stick and dry stick.
Wet stick traps are useful for monitoring pest presence and also for
mass trapping. Dry stick traps are useful for monitoring pest populations
over a fixed time period and are sometimes easier to work with as they
do not leave a sticky residue on fingers.
Most sticky traps come in two colours; yellow and blue.
Yellow traps are generally used to trap sciarid flies, shore flies,
aphids, whitefly, leafminers, and some thrips. Blue traps are generally
used to trap thrips as the colour is more attractive to them.
Traps for monitoring carrot root fly are also available,
they are stiff orange panels mounted on a pole and clip to place in
the field (4 traps/ha is sufficient for monitoring purposes).

Pheromone Traps
The majority of pheromone traps are used for trapping
and monitoring Lepidoptera (moths), delta traps are most commonly used
for adult moths up to 25 mm in length; larger species are more easily
trapped using funnel traps.
Delta/funnel traps contain lures which may be a pheromone
to trap the male of the species, or an attractant to attract both the
male and female.
Regular inspection and counting of trapped moths allows
growers to make informed decisions on when best to apply pesticides
or release natural predators and is an essential part of any Integrated
Pest Management program.
Traps available: delta traps and funnel traps.
