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:
Traps should be placed in hardwood stands with minimal amounts of coniferous species. This will limit the number of the non-target species, Trypodendron lineatum, (a pest of conifers) that are collected. In addition, compounds released by conifers (i.e., alpha-pinene) can act as a repellent to this beetle.
In 2012, the wet collection cup method will be the only method approved for use with multi-funnel (Lindgren) traps.

Lure Placement:
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.
Identification
ID/Diagnostic: Morphological
Morphological: Examine specimens under a good quality, high powered (preferably with up to 90X) dissecting microscope, with the help of screening aids and a reference collection. Use the appropriate screening aid for your geographical area.
Use the screening aid by Humble (n.d.) to differentiate from native Trypodendron species.
Mistaken Identities:
Other Scolytinae.
Large numbers of the similar-looking, native species, Trypodendron lineatum, are drawn to the same lure used to trap T. domesticum.
