California Five-spined Ips
(Ips paraconfusus)  
Use our three-component lure in the 12 or 16-unit Lindgren Funnel Trap. Place traps in clusters of 2-3 at each location.

Douglas fir Beetle
(Dendroctonus pseudotsugae)
This is a three-component lure containing MCOL . For best results we recommend using a 12 or 16-unit Lindgren Funnel Trap. Place 2-3 traps at each monitoring location. For monitoring purposes only, not for mass trapping. The pheromone seudenol, is available on specific requests.

Elm Bark Beetle - European
(Scolytus multistriatus)
Detect using our highly attractive lure ideal for quarantine work. Combines pheromones with host attractants.
 

Elm Bark Beetle - Native
(Hylurgopinus rufipes)
 Host attractants have proven effective in attracting this pest. This two-component lure can be used with our large disposable, weather resistant panel trap or the Lindgren Funnel Trap.

Mountain Pine Beetle
(Dendroctonus ponderosae)
A three-component lure for use with a 12 or 16-unit Lindgren Funnel Trap. Place a cluster of 2-3 traps at each monitoring location, approximately 25 m (25 yd.) apart. For monitoring purposes only, not for mass trapping.

Non-indigenous Bark Beetles
(Exotic Bark Beetles)
Quarantine trap for European pest species including Ips typographus, Ips sexdentatus, Hylurgus ligniperda and Orthotomicus erosus.

NEW Northern Spruce Engraver(Ips pertubatus)
A "hot" two-component lure that is effective n the 12  or 16-unit Lindgren Funnel Trap.  For monitoring purposes only, not for mass trapping.

Other Indigenous Ips spp.
Pherotech has further expanded its library of attractant pheromones for numerous indigenous Ips species, e.g.

Pine Engraver Beetle
(Ips pini)
Our two-component lure containing lanierone is effective in the 12 or 16-unit Lindgren Funnel Trap. Place in clusters of 2-3 per location. Mass trapping shows promise at 5-6 traps per acre.

Pine Engraver Beetle (California)
(Ips pini)
Monitor using our single component lure containing (-) ipsdienol. Mass trapping is strictly experimental.

Pine Shoot Beetle
(Tomicus piniperda)
Detect using our  8 or 12- unit Lindgren Funnel Trap. Place in clusters of 2-3 at each trapping location.  Researchers, ask about our optional lures offering increased trap catches.

Red Turpentine Beetle
(Dendroctonus valens)
 Capture using a kairomone blend in a single release device. Follows the work of Hobson, White, Wood and collaborators. Use with the 8 or 12-unit Lindgren Funnel Trap. Place traps well away from host trees (over 20 m or yards) to avoid unwanted attacks.

Southern Pine Beetle
(Dendroctonus frontalis)
Use the "Billings" technique with a two-component lure system in our 12-unit Lindgren Funnel Trap. Host terpenes should be used with our frontalin lure. Traps can be widely spaced for maximum coverage; check with local experts.
 

Spruce Beetle
(Dendroctonus rufipennis)
A two-component lure for use in the 12 or 16- unit Lindgren Funnel Trap. Place in a cluster of 2-3 traps at each monitoring location at intervals of approximately 25 m (yd.). For monitoring only, not for mass trapping.
 

Spruce Beetle
(Dendroctonus rufipennis) Similar to spruce beetle two component lure, but contains an additional component (+) MCOL. Has shown promise in some locations.

Western Pine Beetle
(Dendroctonus brevicomis)
A three-component lure for use with the 12 or 16-unit Lindgren Funnel Trap. Place in clusters of 2-3 at each monitoring location. Take extreme care to avoid spill over attack. Use of this lure is strictly experimental and should only be considered after consultation with local research or extension entomologists.
 

Wood Boring Beetles - Non Indigenous
Quarantine traps for either coniferous or deciduous infesting wood boring Cerambycids, Buprestids, Monochamus and Siricids.  Generic lures enable detection of a large variety of wood boring species.  Use with Lindgren Funnel Traps with ("wet trap option" is recommended) at ports of entry and other likely locations where these beetles are most likely to show up first.  Consider a minimum of 3 traps containing the same lure at each site.  Ask us about other kairomones that could enhance catches.
