Trap Spacing and Placement: When trapping for woodborers or bark beetles, separate traps with different lure combinations by at least 30 meters (98 feet).
Method Notes:
03/12/14: Starting in the 2014 survey season, negative data for Agrilus planipennis may be entered from Pest Detection and CAPS Cerceris wasp surveys.
For surveys funded by the EAB program, Cerceris may not be used. These surveys should use the purple prism trap and approved lures.
Note that you will now need to ensure that the appropriate host species (Ash for Agrilus planipennis and Oak for the other three Agrilus targets) is within a 200 meter (650 foot) radius of the sampling site.
