Trap Spacing and Placement: When trapping for woodborers or bark beetles, separate traps with different lure combinations by at least 30 meters (98 feet).

Do not include lures for other target species in the trap when trapping for this target.
Lure Notes:
The release rate of this lure is highly temperature-dependent. However, CAPS has listed a conservative length of effectiveness that will be effective for even the warmest climates in the CAPS community.
