I'd be interested in information and references concerning the comment below - does the presence of pheromone traps lead to a potential increase in insect populations, in a storage area that is fairly well separated from the outside world?

Baited traps have the ability to pull from the outside. Should you touch the traps pheromone is not good for you.
