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

I am not affiliated with this organization at all, BTW. I haven't
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...
:-)
