Sticky traps for insect pest provide an easy method for estimating pest population densities. When the timing of pest control actions is based on these relative estimates along with plant sample data from visual inspections, there is generally a reduction in pesticide use. As a result, there are fewer problems with pesticide resistance, less worker exposure to pesticides, reduced pesticide runoff and improved plant quality with less pesticide-induced phytotoxicity symptoms.
