This information can then be manipulated to provide more specific and relevant analyses.
 |
This graphic shows, quite simply, the total numbers of each type of flying insect (with a total column also shown). This allows an immediate evaluation - Lots of Midges!! |

This next graphic shows that Unit 1 has, by far, the largest number of flies within its catch tray. The flies in Unit 3 are of interest because of the location of this unit - inside the production area. |
Careful and effective use of this information can assist you in managing pest infestations before they become a problem!
