Early detection often reduces the chances these pests have to cause significant damage. CAPS Introductory Guidebook and Trapping Videos are now available. The CAPS Introductory Guidebook is now available for the CAPS Community. The purpose of the CAPS Introductory Guidebook is to provide to those both new and seasoned an overview of CAPS program and operations that includes: the funding stream, organizational structure, general workflow, and various required tasks necessary for successful operation of a CAPS program in your state. In each section of the guide you will find descriptions of the tasks and even suggestions for best practices in accomplishing those tasks. In addition to the CAPS Introductory Guidebook, three new trap construction and placement videos also are available. These cover the modification of the cross-vane panel trap, construction of the Lindgren multi-funnel trap, and the placement of these traps in the field. The Introductory Guidebook and trap videos were made possible through a Farm Bill-funded project with Texas A&M University. UPDATES CAPS Introductory Guidebook and Trapping Videos are now available.
