Blacklight Trap Counts

There are four blacklight traps monitored by cooperators in Wilson County to provide a record of the moth flight activity of the corn earworm moth and to track the stinkbug activity. This record assists in the determination of the onset of the major moth flight so producers and scouts can increase the frequency and intensity of scouting for eggs.  Updated information will be posted July through August.
