Pheromone traps

Mar 17, 2011

Pheromone traps should already be out in your orchards for California red scale, citrus cutworm, citrus peelminer and citrus leafminer if these are of monitoring interest for you. 

It is always more accurate to have the traps in your own orchard, however, you also can view our web site to get the general population trends for red scale. http://ucanr.org/sites/KACCitrusEntomology/ 

Citrus peelminer pheromone is so weak that it is not commercially available but if you go to my web site, we wil post the first appearance of this pest for Tulare County.
