On the floor (or manure if accumulations were sufficiently high) under each black light, we placed a pitfall trap, a trough constructed from a polyvinyl chloride pipe (20 cm diameter by 1.23 m long) cut lengthwise and capped at each end. Manure was piled around the trap, forming a ramp that allowed beetles to climb to the edge of the trap. Hister House traps are 8- × 10- × 6.5-cm cardboard boxes with a nylon screen to allow beetles entrance. Traps contain vermiculite treated with a beetle feeding attractant. When ready for use, the vermiculite is saturated with water and traps are placed, screen-side down, directly on poultry manure, Hister House traps were placed one-third of the way up the manure pile on each side of the pitfall traps. Beetles were collected at 24-h periods.
