What are they

[noodle one]

Has anyone noticed the purplish blue triangular that are 18 to 24 ins. long hanging along the roads here in NY and also in PA. ? I know they are some kind of bug trap, but what kind? If anyone knows I would like to know.

Thanks ,noodle one

Yep traps for eab and alb.  Not good if they find any in these traps.  They are getting closer and closer to my home now.

Go to the DEC web site it's for the ash boring beetle. It's a purple sticky trap.

There's one of those traps about 2 miles from my camp. Wonder what the DEC's plan is.

We have had them for the last two years. That little sucker is getting around.

They are being used to locate the Emerald Ash Borers... the traps are just set to find out where the beetles are present... so that they can be dealt with appropriately in those areas... the traps are not designed to kill off all the beetles just used as a locater for now... info direct from one of the guys setting out the traps.
