ABSTRACT:
Traps which include nematode infective juveniles as a toxic agent are effective in decreasing insect populations in a variety of environments. The traps of the invention contain a stable infective juvenile nematode population in a configuration which encourages nictation and the traps provide an effective harborage for the roaches or other insects. Relative humidity is maintained in the traps by the supply of molecular water.
