Abstract

Four models are presented which represent the four combinations of two trap types (food-baited or pheromone-baited), each containing either insecticide or chemosterilant. These were then modelled in combination to determine which combinations might be useful for controlling arthropod pest species in which the virgin females produce sex pheromone which attracts males. The most promising results occurred in combinations involving different trap baits but the same pesticide type, i.e. where one trap contains food bait while the other contains sex pheromone, and both contain either insecticide or chemosterilant. This conforms to the principle of complementarity of control methods and at the same time avoids the interference which would occur if insecticide was used in one trap type and sterilant in the other.
