Black Light and Pheromone Trapping Program Has Begun

Joanne Whalen, Extension IPM Specialist; jwhalen@udel.edu

Our black light and CEW pheromone traps are now up and running for the season. The traps are generally checked on Monday and Thursday and counts are posted by early Tuesday and Friday morning. True Armyworm moth catches will be posted only through the month of May. We will once again check traps for all stink bug species. Please use the following link to access all trap information: http://ag.udel.edu/extension/IPM/traps/index.html. I will also begin the Crop Pest Hotline mid-May (instate: 800-345-7544; out of state: 302- 831-8851).
