3. Monitoring new infestations 4. Traps may be used to check pest
population

5. Use the less risky pest control first Including pheromones that will disrupt
pest mating Mechanical controls including traps.
6. If these methods are not effective, additional control methods
Target spraying Broadcast spraying would be used as a
