Trap System for Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus and Other Rhynchophosus Species
 | | Red Palm Weevil Trapping system |
The Red Palm Weevil (RPW) is an economically important tissue boring pest of date palm in many parts of the world. Infested palms must be removed. As a prevenetative measure all palms in infested areas are sprayed to run off with a variety of insecticides. Because of the environmental pollution and economic costs of continuous insecticide spraying, more environmentally and economically acceptable alternatives are being sought.
Recent success with the male-produced aggregation pheromone has made the implementation of pheromone-based monitoring and trapping of this weevil possible for the management of this pest.
A RPW pheromone based monitoring and trapping system is manufactured by Alpha Scents that is enjoying wide acceptance. It is available immediately. For details contact Dr. Darek Czokajlo at 971-998-8248.

TIP: Increase Yellow Card Catch Rate

Make a tube from 2 yellow No-Mess Sticky Cards stapled together end to end. Punch additional holes as needed for your chosen method of hanging. Fold back an inch of release paper on card ends. Staple ends. Insert hanger. Peel release papers off when you get ready to hang trap. Attach lures as usual. |
Increase the catch on No Mess Yellow Sticky Cards™ by stapling two cards together into a tube, as shown to the left. Hang either way as shown below. Punch hanger holes as needed.
