About this file
This is a technical specification document issued by the California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA) for Pink Bollworm Insect Traps used in pest detection and emergency projects. The specification establishes detailed requirements for trap construction, materials, and fabrication to ensure standardized monitoring equipment for detecting various target pests. The traps are constructed from hard-sized, liquid packaging grade paperboard stock measuring 0.024 +/- 0.002 inches thick with polyethylene plastic coating on both sides. Traps must be capable of withstanding outdoor service for a minimum of 90 days and must exhibit water absorption of 2% or less by weight when tested. The document provides specific illustrations and dimensional requirements for trap size, cutting, hole punching, and pre-creasing procedures referenced on pages 3 through 5.
The traps shall be orange in color on exterior surfaces with white lettering and white on interior surfaces, with color stability maintained when exposed to sunlight for four weeks. All interior surfaces must include a grid pattern of one-inch squares printed in black waterproof ink, with lines approximately 1/64 inch wide that remain visible and unaffected by adhesive coating. Only CDFA-approved adhesive shall be applied to designated trap areas in amounts of 8.5 +/- 0.5 grams per trap, with specific lettering placement and text specifications detailed on pages 7 and 8 of the document. The specification does not address pricing, contract terms, set-asides, or award timelines, as this document functions solely as a technical requirements guide for trap manufacturers.

Pink Bollworm Delta Insect Trap Specifications
This specification establishes the requirements for Pink Bollworm Insect Trap used by California
Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA) to monitor the presence of various target pests.
MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS:
■ Traps shall be constructed of hard sized, liquid packaging grade, one-half gallon milk carton paperboard stock, .024 +/- .002 inch thick.
■ Paperboard stock shall be polyethylene plastic coated on both sides. The coating is nominally
0.00062 inches on exterior surfaces (9 lbs. per 3,000 sq. ft.) and 0.0012 inches on interior surfaces.
■ Paperboard must exhibit good liquid hold out capability, especially where edges and cuts are exposed. Water absorption shall be 2% or less by weight when cut pieces of the paperboard are soaked in a water bath for one hour at 22.2 degrees C.
■ Traps shall be capable of withstanding outside service for a minimum of 90 days.
■ Only approved adhesive by CDFA for use in Pink Bollworm Program shall be applied to the traps.
An alternate adhesive may be substituted only after CDFA has approved for use in Pink
Bollworm Program.
■ The adhesive coating shall be applied evenly over the areas designated on page 6 of this specification. The adhesive shall be applied in a manner that none is deposited outside the designated areas. The adhesive amount applied to each trap shall be 8.5 +/- 0.5 grams.
TRAP FABRICATION
■ The size, cutting, hole punching, perforating and pre-creasing shall be in accordance with the illustration on pages 3 to 5 of this specification.
■ Should the pre-creasing be directional, it should be done in such a manner that will assist in folding the traps into assembly
■ Pre-creasing shall not cut or otherwise damage the plastic coating.
■ Traps shall be orange in color with white lettering on the exterior surfaces and white in color on the interior surfaces. The orange color shall be applied in such a manner that allows no appreciable change in color when exposed to sunlight for four weeks.
■ A grid of one inch squares shall be printed on all interior surfaces in black. The width of the lines shall be approximately 1/64 inch and shall be waterproof, visible through the adhesive coating and not affected by the coating in any way.
■ The placement, size, and actual text of the white lettering on the outer side panels shall be as specified on pages 7 and 8 of this document.
