The multiple funnel trap, an efficient, collapsible, non-sticky trap for scolytid beetles, consists of a series of vertically aligned funnels with a collecting jar at the bottom. The trap compared favorably with sticky traps and Scandinavian drainpipe traps for three species of ambrosia beetles and the mountain pine beetle. Minimum maintenance required for this trap allows for high efficiency in pheromone-based research, survey, and mass trapping of scolytid beetles.

Résumé

Le piège à entonnoirs multiples, un piège à scolytes non collant et escamotable, est fait d'un ensemble d'entonnoirs alignés verticalement avec un bocal collecteur à la base. Le piège s'est comparé avantageusement aux pièges collants ou aux pièges Scandinaves à tuyaux de drainage, pour la capture de trois espèces de scolytes du bois et du dendroctone du pin ponderosa. Le peu d'entretien requis pour ce piège lui confère une efficacité élevée en recherche sur les phéromones, pour la surveillance des populations ou la capture en masse des scolytes.
