Effectiveness of field-exposed attract-and-kill devices against the adults of Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae): a study on duration, form and storage.

This study indicates that semiochemical-baited A&Ks are effective for controlling P. japonica in the field. Because of active ingredient decay the LLINs should be replaced after 30-40 days of field exposure to ensure that the A&Ks remain fully functional. This article is protected by copyright.
