Abstract
A series of experiments was conducted to determine the most effective traps, lures, and kill strips for deploying against the bell weevil, A nthonomus grandis grandis Boheman. The results indicated that Hardee t raps or the Hereon Bell Weevil Scout baited with either of two 2-wk lu res were comparable and the best combinations for use in bell weevil m onitoring and eradication programs. Either kill strip used in traps wa s equally effective and is recommended for convenience in servicing tr aps.
