A Venus flytrap is a carnivorous houseplant biologically engineered to digest the meat of animals (i.e., flies). An eco-friendly and effective way to keep flies under control, we admit they can be a bit unsettling with their hairy, mouth-like openings lying in wait for their prey. But even Charles Darwin was said to be a fan, stating that he thought the plant was one of the most wonderful in the world. Bemisia tabaci, especial biotype B, is difficult to control because of its high resistance to many insecticides available in the market, its wide range of hosts, and rapid rate of development and reproduction ( De Barro and Driver 1997; He and Huang 2005). In China, the control of B. tabaci mainly relies on chemical insecticides, which has caused many serious problems ( Ren et al. 2001). It is necessary to explore some non-chemical methods to control this pest effectively and to significantly reduce the spray of chemical insecticides.

Traps catch both migrating insects as well as adults that emerged from the crop. Canopy density, plant foliage quality, and temperature influence adults' tendency to fly. Wind and ventilation fans can discourage flight, reducing trap catches. The number of adults trapped may temporarily drop after a pesticide application even if there has been relatively little change in immature abundance on plants. Conversely, adult numbers of some species may temporarily increase in traps after applying an adulticide, so the numbers caught for several days after an application might not be best when comparing adult densities among sample dates.

Those tshirts have NOTHING to do with gardening. I was hoping to glaen ideas from fellow a gardener and ran right up against the type of thing that is dividing us. I own guns, but I think those type of tshirts are stupid since they arguments they use fallacies. I also think that people are all about rights and ignore that they come with responsibilities.We treat guns like they are toys. But I own them, so both sides get mad at me. Shen BB, Ren SX.

Regularly summarize trap data to facilitate comparison. For example, graph the average numbers of each pest in all traps from a particular growing area on each sample date. This allows visual recognition of trends in pest abundance and facilitates comparison to stages of crop growth and when particular management actions were taken. Qiu BL, Ren SX, Wen SY, Mandour NS.

The Best Fly Traps
Wide Applications: Plant traps have anti-ultraviolet and waterproof properties, as long as they are not completely covered by dust or insects, they can always protect plants, so they are suitable for indoor plants and outdoor gardens, greenhouses, and small farms.
When you’re attempting to lure and trap flies in your home, you want to stay away from baits that are smelly (fish and meat) or dangerous (containing pesticides). Your best bet is to use natural attractants, like overripe fruit, apple cider vinegar, or a mixture of water and fermenting substances, like molasses, honey or sugar. Bees, ladybirds and other beneficial insects rarely stray into our house or greenhouses, so the risk of accidentally catching them is relatively low. That said, you should think twice before using traps outdoors, as there is no way of ensuring that no beneficial insects or small birds will fly into them. He YX, Huang J.
