WEBVTT NOTE Paragraph 00:00:03.498 --> 00:00:08.881 The cross-vane panel trap has an x-shaped column with two tent shaped ends, 00:00:08.881 --> 00:00:11.920 and a rectangular white cup for collecting specimens. 00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:15.352 We recommend replacing this standard issue rectangular cup 00:00:15.352 --> 00:00:17.024 with a multi-funnel trap cup. 00:00:17.536 --> 00:00:20.489 Modifying the cross-vane panel trap in this manner is optional, 00:00:20.489 --> 00:00:24.641 but will make it easier to remove specimens from the collection cup. 00:00:24.881 --> 00:00:27.185 Here we illustrate how to make this modification. 00:00:27.185 --> 00:00:29.456 You will need the black paperboard piece and 00:00:29.540 --> 00:00:33.319 a black plastic bottom funnel piece from the multi-funnel trap. 00:00:34.321 --> 00:00:37.226 Take the black plastic bottom funnel and 00:00:37.253 --> 00:00:38.692 place it over the highest point of the highest point 00:00:38.868 --> 00:00:40.371 of the paperboard funnel like this. 00:00:40.451 --> 00:00:43.978 We are now going to tie these two pieces together with zip ties. 00:00:44.018 --> 00:00:46.610 Use a paperclip, pen or pick to mark 00:00:46.910 --> 00:00:49.200 where you will eventually cut holes. 00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:51.864 Mark the first hole on the paperboard through all three tabs 00:00:51.864 --> 00:00:53.911 of the plastic funnel. 00:00:54.151 --> 00:00:56.390 Then make a second mark below the first. 00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:58.721 Make sure it is below the tabs of the plastic funnel, and 00:00:58.721 --> 00:01:04.133 far enough away from the first hole to avoid the zip tie ripping through. 00:01:04.433 --> 00:01:08.272 You should have two holes looking like this for each tab. 00:01:08.738 --> 00:01:11.731 Set aside the black plastic funnel piece for later. 00:01:11.811 --> 00:01:14.963 Next, take your small knife and cut a hole at each mark 00:01:15.233 --> 00:01:16.241 all the way through the paperboard. 00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:19.217 The holes do not need to be large, 00:01:19.217 --> 00:01:22.395 just make sure they are big enough to thread the zip ties through. 00:01:27.446 --> 00:01:30.128 Once you have made all three pairs of holes, 00:01:30.248 --> 00:01:33.028 begin pulling the zip ties through. 00:01:33.247 --> 00:01:36.617 Thread each one so that both ends are facing outside 00:01:36.628 --> 00:01:38.728 like this. 00:01:44.077 --> 00:01:45.784 Replace the plastic funnel and 00:01:45.784 --> 00:01:49.034 tie it onto the paperboard with the zip ties. 00:02:03.526 --> 00:02:05.287 Wait to fully tighten the zip ties until 00:02:05.287 --> 00:02:08.502 all three tabs are in place and balanced. 00:02:21.671 --> 00:02:24.265 Now you can attach the white plastic collection cup 00:02:24.265 --> 00:02:28.231 by snapping and screwing it onto the plastic multi-funnel piece. 00:02:29.258 --> 00:02:33.094 Re-insert the panels into the tab slots of the bottom paperboard funnel 00:02:33.094 --> 00:02:36.470 and attach by threading the zip ties through the provided holes 00:02:36.470 --> 00:02:39.286 in the corner of each panel. 00:02:44.470 --> 00:02:47.254 You may want to trim the zip tie tails at this point. 00:03:02.490 --> 00:03:06.407 With your trap completed, it is time to place the lure. 00:03:06.587 --> 00:03:10.184 There are two potential lure types depending on the pest of interest. 00:03:10.234 --> 00:03:13.210 It could be either a rubber septum type, or a polysleeve. 00:03:13.510 --> 00:03:15.862 Be sure to wear disposable gloves so that 00:03:15.862 --> 00:03:18.407 your bare skin does not touch the lure. 00:03:18.407 --> 00:03:20.902 Chemicals from your skin will taint the pheromone lure 00:03:20.902 --> 00:03:24.358 and you also risk cross-contamination with other lures. 00:03:24.358 --> 00:03:26.583 The cross-vane trap has a designated place for lures 00:03:26.583 --> 00:03:29.705 in the center of the trap. For the rubber septum, 00:03:29.705 --> 00:03:32.936 the easiest way to attach is with a paper clip. 00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:35.814 Straighten out one end of the paper clip. 00:03:35.834 --> 00:03:38.120 Gently but firmly push the straightened end of the paper clip 00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:42.063 through the lip edge of the larger opening in the septum. 00:03:42.093 --> 00:03:44.636 Bend up the paperclip end to secure the lure. 00:03:44.726 --> 00:03:47.350 Then thread a zip tie through the paperclip and attach 00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:52.247 the zip tie with the lure to the trap using a pre-punched hole in the paperboard. 00:03:55.064 --> 00:03:57.414 If using a polysleeve, 00:03:57.414 --> 00:03:59.815 run a long zip tie through the hole in the corner of the sleeve. 00:03:59.815 --> 00:04:03.031 Then attach that zip tie through the pre-punched holes. 00:04:04.562 --> 00:04:07.056 Once the trap is securely baited, 00:04:07.066 --> 00:04:08.666 it is ready for field work. 00:04:08.726 --> 00:04:13.398 Please visit our “Successful Field Placement” video for tips on hanging this trap.
