Question # 3: For Green Funnel Traps that are installed in more southerly climates, do these still need to be checked every week until August 1st?

Response: Service checks shall occur according to the number of days specified for each type of trap

(see paragraph 2.0): “… Service checks for Green Funnel Traps shall occur every 14‐21 days after initial deployment and entails the collection of any suspect EAB and replenishment or replacement of polypropylene glycol in the collection cup. EAB lure efficacy is approximately 60 days, therefore at 60 days change the lure at that service check.”
