A pheromone-based attract and kill formulation, LASTCALL, is now registered for control of Western Pine Shoot Borer on ponderosa and lodgepole pine. This paper presents several years of efficacy data against WPSB, and results of preliminary trials targeting Nantucket Pine Tip Moth and Gypsy Moth. LASTCALL offers a sustainable, non-polluting, effective tactic for management of forest defoliating Lepidoptera.
Species 1: Lepidoptera Tortricidae Rhyacionia frustrana (Nantucket pine tip moth)
Species 2: Lepidoptera Tortricidae Eucosma sonomana (Western pine shoot borer)
Species 3: Lepidoptera Lymantriidae Lymantria dispar (Gypsy moth)
Keywords: pheromone, Forest entomology
