Abstract
Traps that captured boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, alive were more effective than traps requiring an adhesive. A thixotropic adhesive was convenient to work with but did not weather satisfactorily. A trap that turns with a slight breeze did not capture more weevils than stationary traps. A latin square in time experimental design was effective in removing variation of mean weevil capture due to effects of season and trap location when trap designs were compared around a cotton field. A commercial trap based on the design of the Leggett trap was effective in capturing weevils. Pigmented adhesive sprayed on a cotton plant was ineffective in capturing boll weevils that responded to grandlure.
