Used to pinpoint sources of infestation, these traps should be positioned conveniently for inspection and for other operations (i.e. movement of goods) in the area being monitored. This generally means placing traps in or around equipment or fittings where an infestation is suspected
Because of their smaller size and lower concentration of pheromone these traps can be closely spaced to pinpoint infestations. It is recommended that traps be used to a density of one per metre in confined spaces
If it is suspected that Plodia interpunctella is present in the area to be monitored it is recommended that the monitoring lures be either exposed for 48 hours prior to placement or be prepared to wait 48 hours in use before the lures reach optimal attractiveness for this species. If Plodia is the main pest to be monitored the Plodia specific lure is recommended
Both traps and lures should be changed every 6 weeks or earlier. Dispose of the empty sachet away from the area being monitored. All used/exhausted dispensers and spent bases must be removed away from the monitored area
