The University of Delaware’s Extension IPM Program provides in-season insect  trap information to help producers, agribusiness and consultants make informed insect management decision in field and vegetable crops.

Traps are monitored twice a week and trap catches are posted  on this website as well as placed on a recorded message ( instate: 1-800-345-7544; out of state: 1-302-831-8851). The main pests monitored include corn earworms (CEW) , European corn borers (ECB), and true armyworm (TAW), and stink bugs.
