Hello everyone, I would like to gather some feedback and experiences regarding the trapping of Stegobium paniceum (drugstore beetle).
I am particularly interested in the effectiveness of pheromone traps, how you use them (conditions, duration, placement, replacement frequency), and any specific observations you may have to share. I have also heard that wheat germ oil can be used as an attractant. Has anyone here tested it, and if so, what results did you observe? I am also curious to learn about other types of attractants that might improve the efficiency of traps. For example, some setups combine several attractants, such as a piece of dog kibble or fish food to lure dermestids together with wheat germ oil for stored-product insects. Have you tried similar combinations or experimented with homemade sticky traps enhanced with different attractants ? Thank you in advance for your feedback, advice, and field observations. Any information or experience you can share would be very valuable.
