Excuse me, Mrs. Wasp, on a scale of 1-10 how much do you agree with the following statements?
I put out traps baited with pheromone lures (mainly) and then go around collecting samples and checking to see if we caught what we were looking out for. Some of the samples go back to the lab and everything gets identified to make sure there is nothing new or to track how far things have moved. We are mainly looking for crop pests that are not yet known to the area.
