Cucumber Beetle Trap
Are you frustrated by your crop being eaten by cucumber beetles?
Cucumber Beetles are a major problem wherever cucumber, watermelon, pumpkin, cantaloupe, squash, and other cucurbits are grown. Beetles can kill or severely stunt seedlings and, on older plants damage stems and fruits. The beetle is well known for transmitting bacterial wilt, and some viruses. Gummy stem blight is also associated with beetle damage. Larvae feed on roots, reducing yield.
The trap contains a strong adhesive to hold beetles that are attracted to the multi-pheromone lure. Place in the garden when seedlings start to emerge or beetles appear and start feeding on flowers and foliage. This trap is simple to use, placing the lure on the yellow sticky trap and hang it near your garden.
Features:
- Lure will attract various types of cucumber beetles including Striped cucumber (Acalymma vittatum), Western striped (Acalymma trivittatum), Spotted cucumber (Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi) and Western spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata undecimpunctata)
- Use one trap with lure per 185 m2 (2,000 sq2) for monitoring or one trap/lure per 37m2 (400 sq2) for mass trapping.
- The lure lasts for 3-4 weeks depending on temperature and replace trap when full of beetles of dirty.
