Wireworm management in Canada Current and future
prospects..
1. Recent arrivals to Canada -Thianicotinyls cl
othianidin (Poncho), thiamethoxam (Cruiser)
-Cloronicotinyls imidacloprid (Admire,
Genesis)???????
2. Registered in Europe and USA -Phenyl
pyrazoles fipronil (Canon, Regent)

Strawberry Field Sampling -5 trapping locations
per field -A. lineatus and A. obscurus
beetle traps -4 Wireworm bait traps/site

Continuing Research
1. Biological Studies - Repellency of
wireworms to synthetic and natural product
insecticides
2. Arsenal Development a) Lab LD50 studies
-wireworms Agriotes,
Limonius, Ctenicera species -click
beetles A. obscurus and A. lineatus
31
2. Arsenal Development, cont b) Field
efficacy studies -wireworms potato and
cereal crops Agriotes, Limonius,
Ctenicera species Canada wide in
scope -click beetles grassy reservoir
habitats
c) Mass trapping studies -Westham
Island, cont -Combined strategies, i.e.
biocontrols
32
3. Monitoring Devices
a) Improved wireworm traps.
b) Improved click beetle traps. -Blended traps
for A. obscurus and A. lineatus.
-Improved mass trapping devices
c) Improved wireworm risk index.
