Trap Spacing and Placement: When trapping for more than one species of moth, separate traps for different moth species by at least 20 meters (65 feet).
Method Notes:
In order to standardize data reporting and trap procurement for the LBAM Program, it is preferable that states use the Jackson trap. However, if states prefer to use the large plastic delta traps, the traps must be purchased with their own funding. Negative data may then be reported from the large plastic delta traps.
Trap color is up to the state and does not affect trap efficacy.
