Moth traps; are some better than others?

Monitoring of stored product moths is essential wherever commodities vulnerable to infestation by them are stored, handled or processed. Most such monitoring is done using funnel traps. However, are these the most effective trap? We have independently conducted comparative trials on several different types of trap.... with interesting results. These are available to download in the publications section of this website.
