TRAPS DEPLOYED FOR EARLY DETECTION OF SPOTTED LANTERNFLY
BY KIM KNAPPENBERGER
Portland, NY — During May members of the Cornell Lake Erie Regional Grape Program set up 7 traps in the region to monitor for the presence of Spotted Lanternfly. The New York State Integrated Pest Management program has provided both circle traps and sticky band traps to deploy in the area in an effort to detect the pest as early as possible if/when it arrives in the region. Neither of these types of traps include pheromones that would draw the pest in but are designed to capture it as it naturally moves up the tree. The locations were selected by observing the locations of vineyards in relation to major transportation lines including I-90, railways, trucking companies/rest stop, and even the Dunkirk airport. The traps will be monitored weekly Spotted Lanterfly trap locations for 2021 now through the season keeping in mind the growth stage expected to be present egg masses if present would ternfly please take a picture, each week.
