  Hello Paul and All,
 
    I have used swarm lures made up at the U of Kansas. They have worked
 for me.They run about $ 10 and have enough to do about 8 traps.They use a
 petrollium base now and it is easy to use.I will see if I can find the
 address or if anyone else has it , would you please post it.We should be
 able to get into the U of Kansas computer and the Biology department.
  Justin down at the USDA research center ( Hayden) in Arizona is an expert
 in traping.They ran an article of his in the ABJ about 5 months ago.I
 think he was on the list for awhile.
 
  Best Regards
 
  Roy
 
FYI, Justin sent me info in response to a question that I asked him
via email a long time ago.  I had asked where I could buy his traps
and lures (and BTW I was under the impression that that is what Brushy
was selling.  I bought their stuff and had *no* luck with it, even
when I put it 6 inches away from a swarm that had landed on my back
porch...) and this is what he said:
 
I had asked him "Where can I purchase one of your large size swarm
traps?"
 
He replied:
 
"We finally have a supplier.  --J"
 
The supplier info is:
 
Mann Lake Ltd 1-800-233-6663
 
Mann Lake Ltd.
501 S. 1st Street
Hackensack, MN   56452

tried either of these products and can't attest to their
functionality.  I am simply relaying information for your use.
 
There, now you can't yell at me if you buy them and they don't work...

Maybe if people start calling them about this they'll give me a
discount when I call...
