aPhinity SBW®

Advanced Spruce Budworm Detection and Monitoring

aPhinity SBW is a pheromone-based lure developed for monitoring Spruce Budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) populations in spruce and fir forests. Designed for forestry professionals, researchers, and forest health programs, it provides a practical tool for assessing seasonal moth activity and supporting informed forest management decisions.

The lure releases a species-specific female sex pheromone that attracts adult male moths into monitoring traps. The resulting capture data helps forestry teams evaluate population trends and better understand pest distribution across managed forest landscapes.

Target Pest Information

Spruce Budworm

(Choristoneura fumiferana)

Spruce Budworm is one of the most significant native defoliating insects affecting spruce and fir forests across North America. Larvae feed on developing buds and needles, reducing tree growth and causing extensive defoliation during outbreak periods. Repeated infestations can weaken trees, increase susceptibility to secondary pests and diseases, and affect overall forest productivity.

Population levels can fluctuate significantly between years, making ongoing surveillance valuable for understanding outbreak development and long-term forest health risks.
