Hi Art
There is no OBLR pheromone trap treatment threshold that I know of. As
Jon said, the traps are used for timing not threshold detection.
That said, and with a big buyer beware cautionary note that we really
can't extrapolate from one pest to another, I still find it informative
to
Art, there is no threshold as far as I know. Pheromone traps are
typically used to establish a biofix to time the best treatment. See:

According to AgRadar, you should be out spraying for this pest July 3 so
you can relax on the 4th.
Thanks Jon.

Is there a treatment threshold for pheromone trap captures for OBLR? We
averaged 7.5/trap today. We trapped the first adults on 6/20, one per trap.
