04/27/2017: For the 2017 survey season, the fluoropolymer resins approved for treating panel traps has been expanded to include Fluon® and Teflon™. Teflon™ and Fluon® are available as aerosol sprays and suspensions, respectively. Either can be applied to the surfaces of panel traps. Once dried, the fluoropolymer creates a slick surface that prevents beetles from escaping the trap. This is especially important for large beetles, such as Trichoferus campestris and Monochamus spp., although it has also been shown to be effective for smaller beetles like emerald ash borer. In an effort to identify the most effective and user-friendly fluoropolymer for panel traps in wood boring beetle surveys, an S&T scientist will conduct fields tests comparing several fluoropolymer treatments as well as pre-treated traps in the 2017 survey season. If you are surveying for this target in 2017, please change to this method if possible. For surveys planned in 2017, negative data will still be allowed from the other two approved methods: Visual and Black Light Traps. In 2018, the current approved methods of Visual and Black Light Traps will be removed. These methods are not as effective as the new approved method and should not be used. 01/18/2017: A new method was added, the Cross Vane Panel Trap, Black and Ethanol Lure. Please note, the panel trap must be treated with fluon for maximum efficacy. Fluon is a fluoropolymer resin and is available as a suspension that can be applied to the surfaces of multi-funnel or panel traps. Once dried, the Fluon creates a slick surface that prevents beetles from escaping the trap. This is especially important for large beetles, such as Trichoferus campestris. Once applied, the Fluon is effective for many years. The CPHST Otis lab is developing guidance on how to apply the Fluon to traps. This guidance will be available in the near future. If you are surveying for this target in 2017, please change to this method if possible. For surveys planned in 2017, negative data will still be allowed from the other two approved methods: Visual and Black Light Traps. In 2018, the current approved methods of Visual and Black Light Traps will be removed. These methods are not as effective as the new approved method and should not be used. 7/24/2012: Black light traps have been added as an approved method for 2012 and beyond.
