The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) partners with Better World Manufacturing Inc. to deploy the Wing Trap in its insect pest control programs, enhancing efforts to manage invasive pests like fruit flies. The Wing Trap's innovative design effectively captures and monitors pest populations, providing critical data for early detection and rapid response. By integrating this tool into insect pest management strategies, CDFA promotes sustainable farming practices, reduces pesticide use, and supports the long-term health of California's agricultural economy, ensuring the protection of vital crops in an eco-friendly manner.
The Wing Trap is designed to allow adjustment to maximize trap performance for the behavioral patterns of different insects. The trap can be used with short spacer bars between top and bottom to allow full plume flow from all trap sides for most trapping programs. For insect pests such as the red-banded leafroller and codling moth, the spacer bars can be omitted, and the bottom end folded down to deflect the pheromone plume downward. The Wing Trap has a replaceable, sticky paperboard bottom with a grid pattern to aid in counting the trapped insects. It can be changed as needed when it becomes filled with insects or dirt. This is an ideal trap for general monitoring programs—much data is available using this style trap for monitoring vegetable, fruit, and nut crops as well as for stored products.
