aPhinity PFW ᵀᴹ

Advanced Pine False Webworm Detection and Monitoring

aPhinity PFW is a pheromone-based monitoring lure developed to support the detection and surveillance of Pine False Webworm (Acantholyda erythrocephala) populations in pine forests. Designed for forestry professionals, researchers, and forest health programs, it provides an effective tool for tracking pest activity and supporting informed management decisions.

Using a synthetic version of the female-produced sex pheromone, the lure attracts flying male Pine False Webworms into monitoring traps, helping forestry professionals assess population activity and support monitoring programs. The lure is environmentally friendly and poses no risk to humans, pets, or non-target wildlife.

Target Pest Information

Pine False Webworm

(Acantholyda erythrocephala)

Pine False Webworm is a sawfly species of European origin that is now established in parts of eastern North America. Larvae feed primarily on older pine needles but will move onto current-season growth when food becomes limited. Severe infestations can cause extensive defoliation, reducing tree vigor and affecting forest productivity. Monitoring adult activity helps forestry professionals assess population levels and track pest distribution within pine stands.
