The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is one of the main pests of corn and other economically important crops worldwide. Pheromone traps can be used for monitoring and mass trapping S. frugiperda males. Trap design is an important component of a monitoring system or mass trapping system, along with the attractant. In this study, we evaluated the performance and efficiency of several home-made and commercial traps baited with a pheromone lure developed from Mexican S. frugiperda populations. The trials were performed in corn crops in two different years and regions of Mexico. The white plastic jug trap exhibited the highest capture and efficiency rate for trapping S. frugiperda males in both years and regions. The commercial green bucket trap and the home-made traps (including delta, sleeve and water bottle traps) caught significantly fewer males during the experiments compared to the white plastic jug trap. The latter captured 42.5% of males orienting sleeves the trap. An efficient trap may be useful for monitoring or be used as part of a mass trapping strategy to manage FAW populations in corn.

秋粘虫 (FAW)草地夜蛾是世界范围内玉米和其他重要经济作物的主要害虫之一。费洛蒙陷阱，可用于监测和大量诱捕小号。frugiperda男性。陷阱设计与引诱剂一起是监测系统或质量捕集系统的重要组成部分。在这项研究中，我们评估了几种自制和商业诱捕器的性能和效率，这些诱捕器使用从墨西哥S. frugiperda种群开发的信息素诱饵作为诱饵。这些试验是在墨西哥两个不同年份和地区的玉米作物中进行的。白色塑料壶诱捕器在诱捕草地贪夜蛾方面表现出最高的捕获率和效率男性在两个年份和地区。与白色塑料壶陷阱相比，商业绿色桶形陷阱和自制陷阱（包括三角洲、套筒和水瓶陷阱）在实验期间捕获的雄性明显更少。后者捕获了 42.5% 的男性定向套圈陷阱。有效的捕集器可用于监测或用作管理玉米中秋粘虫种群的大规模捕集策略的一部分。
