Farm Bureau to Trap Moths and Eradicate Worms
The Cascade farm bureau will place moth traps in infected cutworm fields in late August to eradicate the pest. Traps use a water pan with oil and a central lantern, catching moths as they fly to the light. Most catches before midnight are females, after 2 am mostly males, suggesting early morning egg laying. One trap covers eight to ten acres and moth activity lasts about three weeks. Parasites fail to curb pale western cut worm damage, which rises yearly.
