Target Species

Insect pest surveillance plays a critical role in protecting crops, ecosystems, and agricultural trade. Many regulated pests can spread rapidly, cause significant economic losses, and trigger quarantine restrictions if they are not detected early.

Better World Manufacturing supports agricultural, regulatory, and international programs with trapping systems, pheromone lures, food attractants, and compatible components designed to support early detection, field surveillance, population monitoring, and program-specific requirements.

This page highlights selected target species commonly associated with insect pest surveillance programs. Additional species and region-specific configurations may be available upon request.

How to use this page

Find your target species, then review the compatible surveillance approach:

Lures & attractants
Trap formats such as Delta, Wing, Multi-Lure™, Jackson, and compatible platforms
Consumables & accessories such as sticky inserts, holders, hangers, and lure dispensers
Trap and lure selection may vary depending on target species, crop, region, field conditions, and program protocol.
