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:
Modify the standard gypsy moth milk carton by cutting a single large entry port (2.5 cm wide x 3 cm high) in each side by using a utility knife or similar tool to cut out the section of paperboard between the two existing entry ports. A plastic funnel*(see Lance, 2006, Fig. 3; contact Otis lab for availability) is placed inside the trap (tube-down) so that the top edge of the funnel is at the level of the bottom of the entry ports. The lure is hung inside the top of the trap and a killing agent (DDVP strip) is placed in the bottom. Lures should be replaced at least monthly in cooler areas and perhaps as often as every 2-3 weeks in hotter climates (Lance, 2006).
The Otis lab has a limited number of funnels available. Funnels will be shipped on a first come first serve basis. Funnels can be reused for multiple years if cared for properly. Funnels should be removed from traps at the end of the season, washed in soap and water, rinsed, and stored dry. Please keep the funnels and re-use in subsequent years or ship the funnels back to the Otis lab so that other states may use them.
