Pest Monitoring & Identification

Pest Scouting Tools for Greenhouses & Growing Operations

Track pest activity with yellow sticky cards, roller traps, moth traps, pheromone lures, and a phone-mounted microscope. Use consistent scouting locations and records to distinguish isolated catches from a developing population trend.

Yellow Sticky Cards & Roller Traps

Compare Catchmaster and Sensor yellow cards and Trapline yellow roller traps. Yellow cards support monitoring of flying insects such as adult fungus gnats, whiteflies, thrips, and winged aphids. They do not monitor non-flying mites or non-winged aphids; inspect plants directly for those pests.

Moth Traps & Species-Specific Lures

GROW1 hanging cone and bucket traps provide separate trap-body options. The GROW1 fall armyworm lure is species-specific; confirm trap-and-lure compatibility and replacement instructions. Do not assume an unbaited trap or one pheromone lure monitors every caterpillar pest.

Magnification & Scouting Records

The Universal Phone Microscope supports closer examination of specimens. Record trap locations, dates, pest identification, and catches consistently. For fungus gnat adults, place yellow cards near the growing-medium surface; use direct medium checks to assess larvae.
