This is a very good question with no correct answer for everyone's situations.
There are many factors to consider. Pest history, the risk factor of the
objects (munchablity) building envelope( old loose structure or tight modern
one) pest history and pest pressure for your region. If traps are coming up
empty re-evaluate the concentration or placements. You can always add and take
away. There are no set practices. I have seen overkill with traps consuming
labor hours and way too minimal leaving spaces vulnerable. Determine the risk
is the best place to start. Hope this helps. JTV

Subject: [pestlist] Blunder and Pheromone Trap Ratio/Concentration
Hello, All
Happy Halloween!
Could anyone point me to a good reference to learn about best practices for how
many traps to lay out in areas of certain sizes, with certain collections, with
certain histories of pests? In my attempts to unify our IPM system, I'm running
into areas with tons of traps (60+) and areas with sparse traps. I know the
mentality of some is an avoidance of pheromone traps, which then means needing
to 'spam' areas with blunder traps so you know what's there. I would love to
find some references that can show the best balance of pheromone and blunder
traps together, and what concentration is optimal.
I looked through muesumpests.net<http://muesumpests.net>, but didn't see
reference to this in particular. Another article/book/or professional
experience would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
