“…Monitoring traps to aid in control of coleopteran storage pests have been developed for both commercial use in large scale industry in developed countries and for small-scale use amongst subsistence farmers in developing countries (Barak & Burkholder 1985;Collins & Chambers 2003;Ukeh, Udo & Ogban 2008;Campbell 2012). Conversely, mass-trapping of these pests has been overlooked and underutilized as a pest management tool.…”

16Many insects show a greater attraction to multimodal cues, e.g. odour and colour combined, 17 than to either cue alone. Despite the potential to apply the knowledge to improve control 18 strategies, studies of multiple stimuli have not been undertaken for stored product pest insects. 19We tested orientation towards a food odour (crushed white maize) in combination with a colour 20 cue (coloured paper with different surface spectral reflectance properties) in three storage pest 21 beetle species, using motion tracking to monitor their behaviour. While the maize weevil, 22Sitophilus zeamais (Motsch.), showed attraction to both odour and colour stimuli, particularly to 23 both cues in combination, this was not observed in the bostrichid pests Rhyzopertha dominica 24 (F.) (lesser grain borer) or Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (larger grain borer). The yellow 25 2 stimulus was particularly attractive to S. zeamais, and control experiments showed that this was 26 neither a result of the insects moving towards darker-coloured areas of the arena, nor their being 27 repelled by optical brighteners in white paper. Visual stimuli may play a role in location of host 28 material by S. zeamais, and can be used to inform trap design for the control or monitoring of 29 maize weevils. The lack of visual responses by the two grain borers is likely to relate to their 30 different host seeking behaviours and ecological background, which should be taken into 31 account when devising control methods. 32 33

The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, is an important pest of stored products. We compared an existing standard commercial trap with five experimental trap designs differing from the status quo in shape, surface texture, and in forced air capability provided by fans. We tested the five new traps and a commercial trap with T. castaneum adults with the presence/absence of air flow and the availability of either the pheromone only or both the pheromone and kairomone. Without using the fans and baited with pheromone only, these new trap designs capture beetles three to five times as efficiently as the status quo trap. Use of both pheromone and kairomone doubled the capture efficiency of the status quo trap but did not significantly affect the capture efficiency of the new trap designs, all of which captured significantly more effectively than the status quo trap. Turning on fans for forced ventilation significantly improved trap efficiency of the more effective of the newer traps compared to monitoring with both pheromone and kairomone but no fan. This study provides new insights into factors affecting trap efficiency for monitoring of T. castaneum in grain storage facilities, and suggests ways in which existing traps might be improved.

“…The pheromone occurs in four different forms and is released by males at a 4:4:1:1 [(4R,8R):(4R,8S):(4S,8R):(4S,8S)] ratio (Lu et al, 2011). Multiple studies have evaluated how T. castaneum, and Tribolium confusum Jacquelin DuVal which shares the same pheromone (Suzuki and Sugawara, 1979), respond to pheromone (Sokoloff, 1974;Ryan and O'Ceallachain, 1976;O'Ceallachain and Ryan, 1977;Levinson and Mori, 1983;Boake and Wade, 1984;Barak and Burkholder, 1985;Obeng-Ofori and Coaker, 1990;ObengOfori, 1991;Lewis and Austad, 1994;Olsson et al, 2006;Verheggen et al, 2007;Duehl et al, 2011;Campbell, 2012). Tribolium castaneum and T. confusum also respond to food odors (Willis and Roth, 1950;Phillips et al, 1993), but attraction to flour appears to be negligible (Hughes, 1982;Romero et al, 2010).…”
