“…Iamb fruit on the soil used by P. scutellaris had preexisting damage and was fermenting (Dvořák & Landolt 2006;Landolt et al 2014). Ground fall fruits were visited by this wasp due to recruitment and information on available food resources Sabrina et al 2014;Santoro et al 2015).…”

“…Little is known about the diversity and abundance of social wasps occurring in Wisconsin fruit crops, and particularly in vineyards. Identifying the species present in vineyards is fundamental and essential to implement appropriate management strategies for growers as individual wasp species respond differently to chemical attractants and behavioral responses to specific attractants can vary across states and regions [ 7 , 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”

“…Several chemical attractants have been identified and are now widely commercialized for managing pestiferous wasps, particularly isobutanol, acetic acid, blends of these two chemicals, and heptyl butyrate, reviewed in [ 18 ]. The mixture of acetic acid and isobutanol was shown to be attractive to multiple species, including Dolichovespula spp., Polistes spp., and Vespula spp., in particular species in the Vespula vulgaris species group, in different states throughout the USA [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 31 , 32 ]. However, not all Vespula spp.…”

Social wasps can be serious pests in fruit growing plantings and are becoming increasingly problematic for grape growers. In this study, we conducted two experiments to assess the species composition and seasonal phenology of social wasps in Wisconsin vineyards in 2015 and 2017. In 2015, three attractants were used: (1) wine; (2) heptyl butyrate (HB); and (3) acetic acid and isobutanol (AAIB) and in 2017, two attractants were used: HB and AAIB. In both years, the same eight species were trapped from the genera Vespula, Dolichovespula, and Polistes. The predominant wasp species trapped were Vespula maculifrons, Vespula vidua, Vespula flavopilosa, and Vespula germanica in 2015 and V. maculifrons, V. flavopilosa, V. germanica, and Dolichovespula maculata in 2017, in order of total abundance. The populations of V. vidua decreased in 2017 compared to 2015, indicating large inter-annual variation. In both years, AAIB lures trapped significantly more V. flavopilosa, V. maculifrons, and V. germanica, the three most prevalent species during grape harvest, than HB, whereas HB lures trapped more V. vidua than AAIB. Wine was generally attractive to all species in 2015. This study identifies for the first time the wasp species present in Wisconsin commercial vineyards using chemical attractants. This knowledge, along with the seasonal phenology of these pest species, will help facilitate the development of management strategies for social wasps in commercial vineyards.

“…Fermented food type lures such as wine, vinegar, beer, and fermenting fruit/sucrose/yeast are broadly attractive to a diversity of insects, including moths (Yamazaki, 1998;Sussenbach & Fiedler, 1999;Laaksonen et al, 2006;Pettersson & Franz en, 2008), vespid wasps (Dvorak & Landolt, 2006;Noll & Gomes, 2009;De Souza et al, 2011;Landolt et al, 2014), and natural enemies of crop pests (Aluja, 1999;Thomas, 2003). Whereas these baits are useful for survey or biodiversity studies, they can be detrimental to beneficial insects and difficult to use for the purpose of monitoring a single pest species; numerous non-target insects are captured and have to be sorted.…”

Baits – fermented food products – are generally attractive to many types of insects, which makes it difficult to sort through non‐target insects to monitor a pest species of interest. We test the hypothesis that a chemically simpler and more defined attractant developed for a target insect is more specific and attracts fewer non‐target insects than a chemically more complex food‐type bait. A four‐component chemical lure isolated from a food bait and optimized for the spotted wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), was compared to the original wine/vinegar bait to assess the relative responses of non‐target insects. In several field experiments in Washington State, USA, it was shown that numbers of pest muscid flies, cutworm and armyworm moths, and pest yellowjackets were reduced in traps baited with the chemical lure compared to the wine/vinegar bait. In other field experiments in the states of Washington, Oregon, and New York, numbers of non‐target drosophilid flies were also reduced in traps baited with the chemical lure relative to wine/vinegar bait. In Washington, numbers of Drosophila melanogaster Meigen and Drosophila obscura Fallen species groups and Drosophila immigrans Sturtevant were reduced in the chemical lure traps, whereas in New York, D. melanogaster and D. obscura species groups, D. immigrans, Drosophila putrida Sturtevant, Drosophila simulans Sturtevant, Drosophila tripunctata Loew, and Chymomyza spp. numbers were reduced. In Oregon, this same effect was observed with the D. melanogaster species group. Taken together, these results indicate that the four‐component SWD chemical lure will be more selective for SWD compared to fermentation baits, which should reduce time and cost involved in trapping in order to monitor SWD.
