Sampling Supplies – Sweep Nets, Southwestern Corn Borer

Author:  Comments Off on Sampling Supplies – Sweep Nets, Southwestern Corn Borer

I get several questions each year about sources for sweep nets and pheromone trapping supplies, especially for southwestern corn borer. We get ours from Great Lakes IPM (http://www.greatlakesipm.com/). I’ve included specific links below, but there are other sources including Gemplers (sweep net and bucket traps) and Forestry Suppliers (for sweep nets).https://news.utcrops.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif

Sweep Nets:
http://www.greatlakesipm.com/sweepnets.html  (Order IPM-636HS, 15″, 1″ wood handle, $ 32.65 each). You can also order just the replacement net.

Universal Moth Trap (Bucket Style, Reusable):
http://www.greatlakesipm.com/universalmothtraps.html (get the all green ones, IPS0G004, $9.95 each).

Southwestern Corn Borer Pheromone Lure:
http://www.greatlakesipm.com/herconlures.html (HC-100356, $15.25/10 lures). Each lure is good for 4 weeks, and you will need no more than 3 lures per trap during a season assuming you are putting these out early to mid-May.
