[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 2997019, member: 9117"] In one of my catalogs earlier in the year, I bought a peach borer pheromone trap. It's a little cardboard glue trap that has a little piece of rubber in it that's impregnated with peach borer pheromones. It draws one of the sexes(can't remember which, probably male) into the trap, they get stuck and can't breed. I bet I caught 3-4 dozen borers (6 different targeted species) in a few weeks. It worked so well, I got to looking into it for other species. Found this place and bought[B] [URL='http://www.evergreengrowers.com/traps-sticky-cards-and-tapes/delta-traps/multi-season-delta-trap.html']this little trap[/URL] [/B]and some sticky sheet inserts. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.evergreengrowers.com_media_catalog_product_cache_1_image_90dd2c5f45e5e75568453f8e69a4a1322.jpg[/IMG] They also sell the [B][URL='http://www.evergreengrowers.com/pheromone-insect-lures.html']pheromone lures as well.[/URL][/B] They're pretty cheap compared to pesticides. The bugs that were giving me the most problem last year were the Southwest Corn Borer and the Corn Earworm. So I picked up both of those pheromones. They last for 3-4 weeks, so I bought enough to last for a fall crop. That will be the real test, if I can grow a fall crop. The earworms decimated my fall crop last year, only got a few ears. The trap has been up a week or so and I've caught 8-10 moths of the variety I'm after, I won't know till I pick the corn if it was successful or not. If it saves me from spraying chemicals every 2-3 days and I get some decent corn, I'll call it a success. I'll take some pics tomorrow when the suns up.. [/QUOTE]
