Ips cembrae is a destructive forest pest attacking European larch. In 2021 and 2022, effectiveness of poisoned trap trees, trap logs and slot traps baited with the Cembräwit in trapping I. cembrae was tested. The negative impact on the predators of genus Thanasimuswas evaluated. We found that poisoned trap trees and logs are more effective in trapping I. cembrae than slot traps. The aggregation of bark beetles on the trap log edge was significantly lower than in the central part, where the pheromone lure was placed. The application of poisoned trap trees is possible in cases of extreme outbreaks.
