 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
