  • Publication number: 20040031190
    Abstract: Arthropod monitoring stations are provided, as well as methods for using them. The stations comprise a housing having a first end, a second end, and lateral wall extending between the first end and the second end. The first end, second end, and lateral wall substantially define an interior portion of the housing, and at least one of the first end, the second end, and the lateral wall includes at least one aperture suitable for ingress or egress by an arthropod with rest to said interior of said housing. Preferably, at least two members are disposed within the housing, each of the members having a first end, a second end, and a lateral wall extending between the first end and the second end. At least one of the members comprises a material capable of being consumed by arthropods, a material capable of being penetrated by arthropods, a material capable of being transported by arthropods, or a material capable of killing arthropods.
