The strip type and rubber septa carriers for sex phermone lures were compared during an 80-day trapping study onion armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hubner), from January 13-April 13, 2019 in Dolores Sto. Domingo, Nueva Ecija [Philippines]. Six traps were used for each type of pheromone carrier. The sex phermone was tethered at the center of five-gallon container with water and soap. Male moth catches were counted and recorded daily between 0600 and 0800H. Locations were selected based on the damage assessment observed last onion-growing season. The rubber septa had higher daily catches than the strip type. Moreover, the former had a total, (cumulative) male catch of 41,165 while the latter had 6,880. The rubber septa containing sex phermone can be used for detection, population forecasting, and mass trapping of male moths.
