Euwallacea fornicatus, also known as tea shot-hole borer, or polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB) is a species complex consisting of multiple cryptic species of ambrosia beetles known as an invasive species in California, Israel, South Africa, and Australia. The species has also been unintentionally introduced into exotic greenhouses in several ...
There are various methods used for placing bottle traps: After a hole is made in the top of the trap, a branch is bent down and its top fitted through the hole. [4] A thin cord is attached to the trap, after which the cord is thrown over a high branch and the trap pulled up, the rope then being fixed to some lower branch. [6]
It traps the beetles within the box which contains the chemical and then the beetle would die upon lethal dose inhalation. There are also several traps currently on the market. The more effective ones are the Beetlejail Baitable, Hood Trap, the Freeman Beetle Trap, the West trap, the Australian, AJ's Beetle Eater, [33] and the Beetle Blaster. [34]
Sticky traps are widely used in agricultural and indoor pest monitoring. [1] [7] Shelter traps, or artificial cover traps, take advantage of an insect's tendencies to seek shelter in loose bark, crevices, or other sheltered places. [8] Baited shelter traps such "Roach Motels" and similar enclosures often have adhesive material inside to trap ...
A flight interception trap (or FIT) is a widely used trapping, killing, and preserving system for flying insects. It is especially well-suited for collecting beetles , since these animals usually drop themselves after flying into an object, [ 1 ] rather than flying upward (in which case a Malaise trap is a better option).
The beetles' glands store enough hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide to allow the beetle to release its chemical spray roughly 20 times. In some cases this is enough to kill a predator. [6] The main component of the beetle spray is 1,4-benzoquinone, an irritant to the eyes and the respiratory system of vertebrates.

Pheromone traps can capture thousands of bark beetles, [14] however, their real utility to decrease the damages on the trees remains debated: some studies found a strong reduction of damage in locations with pheromone traps, [15] while others found no effect or even a slight increase in the risk of new attacks when pheromone traps were used.
