Abstract

Cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.), is one of the most common stored-product pests. We monitored their population dynamics and distribution in two coffee bean warehouses in New Jersey, USA, using pheromone traps and sticky traps during September 2018–October 2020, and light traps in 2020. The two warehouses only implemented treatment procedures for controlling Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)) during the study period. The first L. serricorne adult appeared on pheromone traps from late May to early June when temperature reached 21–22 °C, and the last L. serricorne adult appeared on pheromone traps from late October to mid-November when temperature dropped to 10–14 °C. The majority of L. serricorne was caught during July–October. Light traps caught 5.5- and 2.2-times more L. serricorne per trap than pheromone traps in Warehouse 1 and 2, respectively. Warehouse 1 had a significantly higher density of L. serricorne than Warehouse 2. The L. serricorne activity peaks were not always clear and varied between year and the two warehouses. Zero to 3 hot spots, where had the largest numbers of L. serricorne, were identified from July to October in each warehouse based on pheromone traps, and their locations were similar through the months both in 2019 and 2020. The L. serricorne counts from pheromone traps placed inside warehouse were at least 2.3-times more than those placed outside. Also, the L. serricorne active period outside of the warehouses was shorter than that from inside of the warehouses.
