Utah TRAPs is a degree-day calculator, insect phenology, and management tool for agriculture and landscape locations in northern Utah. The Utah TRAPs Web site is evolving, and more locations and pests will be added in the future.

Using degree days and insect phenology is a key feature of Integrated Pest Management. (Click here For USU Fact Sheet on degree days.) Degree days predict an insect's emergence or life stage, and provides the optimal treatment timing. Note that degree days and insect development information provided in the TRAPs tool pertains to Utah pest only. Several pest models (peach twig borer, codling moth, and western cherry fruit fly) have been validated for Utah, and others are currently being tested. See help file for instructions on using Utah TRAPs. Please email Marion Murray () for comments, feedback, or questions of this new service.
