Abstract
Tests are reviewed which, over a 10-yr. period, have resulted in considerable improvement of such devices. The data show that, in an equal infestation, the 1934 trap is probably capable of capturing 55 times as many beetles as the device used in 1925. In lightly infested areas traps probably capture a higher % of the beetles which are attracted than in heavily infested regions. Neither a bait which will attract all the beetles in the immediate vicinity nor a trap that will capture all the beetles which are attracted has been devised.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
