Abstract
Both males and females of Glischrochilus quadrisignatus (Say) were attracted to traps baited with propyl propionate and butyl acetate, chemical components of many fruits. In field trials, traps baited with these chemicals caught significantly more beetles than traps baited with other fruit volatiles. Polyethylene vial caps were the best method of releasing butyl acetate. There were no significant differences in numbers of beetles captured in modified gypsy moth traps and modified Ellisco traps. Beetles were trapped using fruit volatiles from April to October, with a peak of captures in July.
