A pheromone-baited trap was developed to monitor the Indian meal moth in gr
ocery stores and similar areas where visible traps are not desirable. The t
rap can be used under shelves and against walls, As a shelf mount, the trap
is in close proximity to the food packages and may capture emerging insect
s before they mate. The trap can also be used as a hanging trap similar to
the Pherocon IT. When used as a shelf or wall mount, it was as effective as
the Pherocon II, but when used as a hanging trap significantly fewer insec
ts were captured. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
