Disposable Yellow-Jacket Trapping System
 Introducing an easy way to trap yellow-jackets and wasps using our new Yellow-Jacket lure attached to our popular No-mess Adhesive™ Alpha Scents Yellow Rectangle Adhesive Traps.
Compared to other yellow-jacket trapping methods our non-toxic system requires no messy liquids, is disposable and inexpensive. When a rectangle trap fills up with wasps rapidly, the 30 day lure can be moved to a fresh trap for extended capture periods.
By placing a trap in gardens, backyards, near nests, near compost piles, and when fruit is ripening yellow-jacket populations can be reduced to reasonable levels in the initial year of deployment. Continued use will hold yellow-jacket and wasp populations down in future years as well.
Yellow-Jacket Lure: Single $2.75 * 25 $35.00 * 100 $120.00
Yellow Rectangle Adhesive Trap: Single $2.10 * 25 $32.50 * 100 $120.00

Yellow No-mess Adhesive™ Card Traps Used to Keep Ants From Eating Fruit Tree Blossoms
This Spring ants were observed by entomologist, Eric LaGasa (WSDA) eating away the ovary part of blossoms in a pear orchard. Blossoms were left with no pistol that would have developed into the pear. LaGasa said he had not seen this kind of ant behavior in blossoms before. Interestingly, we have recently received reports from cherry growers who have, this year, dealt with ants eating blossoms.

Good results were observed.  | | Center & Right: cards cut in half lengthwise using a box cutter or scissors |

This makes it especially easy and convenient to cut and handle our rectangle card traps. See past issues in our archive for examples of traps being cut to fit inside cups for Drosophila traps, formed into tubes for enhanced capture rates, and other novel methods. Our yellow traps have been rated in USDA studies as capturing 2 to 4 times all other brands tested. |
Capture Shothole Borer (Scolytus regulosus)
 Shothole Borer damages fruit tree crops like peach, nectarine, apricot, plum, cherry, and others. Adult females drill holes in the bark and lay eggs in 1 to 2 inch long galleries running down the cambium layer of the tree. Larvae overwinter beneath the bark. When hatched they mine secondary galleries at right angles to the egg gallery. Pitch exuding from holes usually kills eggs. If the tree has been injured or has weakened areas, resin buildup does not occur. At this point invasion is successful. Ultimately larvae may girdle the tree and cause tree or branch death.
No-mess Adhesive™ Alpha Scents Yellow Rectangle Traps with ethanol lures attached may be used to capture and monitor adults, as shown in the photo. |
