Trapping squash bugs with board traps and ammonia
Kimberly Stoner, Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station

Objective
To test the use of trap boards and lures based on ammonia (ammonium carbonate and household ammonia) to concentrate squash bugs in a small area for monitoring or control. Although I received funding from the OFRF for just one year, 1997, 1 actually started the experiments in my proposal in 1996 and continued with a different approach in 1997.
