SPLAT Verb Verbenone Timing and Monitoring
SPLAT Verb should be applied prior to bark beetle flight/emergence, which usually occurs in late spring – early summer (May through June). SPLAT Verb is formulated to release biologically active quantities of verbenone over a period of 8 - 24 weeks. In most cases, this is enough to provide protection for an entire MPB flight period. Monitoring MPB population with traps before applying SPLAT Verb is highly recommended. Consult a qualified pest control advisor or ISCA Technologies to obtain correct timing for application. If MPB population densities are above threshold levels in your area, supplementary control measures may be necessary.
