Bottle traps baited with a vinegar\u2013ethanol\u2013apple (VEA) mixture have proven effective for capturing adults, but appropriate lure replacement intervals, trap spacing, and trap height for field monitoring remain to be determined. To address this, we conducted field experiments to evaluate how lure age, release distance, and deployment height influence trap efficiency. Our results revealed that VEA\u2011baited traps caught significantly more weevils with 2\u2011, 4\u2011, and 6\u2011d\u2011old lures compared with 8 to 24\u2011d\u2011old lures, indicating VEA retains peak attractiveness for about 6\u2009d. Recapture rates of marked adults were highest at 1\u2009m (30%), 3\u2009m (33.3%), and 5\u2009m (30%) but dropped sharply at 10\u2009m (6.7%), 20\u2009m (3.3%), and 30\u2009m (5%). Trap height also had a strong effect: significantly more E. scrobiculatus were captured in traps placed at ground level (0\u2009m) than in traps set at 5\u2009m or 10\u2009m. In contrast, non-target insects such as E. brandti (Harold) and Xyleborinus saxesenii Ratzeburg (both Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were more abundant at higher trap placements, demonstrating some level of vertical stratification. From independent single\u2011factor trials, ground\u2011level placement, 10\u2011m inter\u2011trap spacing and a 6\u2011d lure renewal interval are proposed as preliminary reference parameters for VEA\u2011baited trapping. These tentative indicators support field monitoring of this weevil. Our results supply evidence\u2011based operational guidelines for plantation managers and underpin attract\u2011and\u2011kill tactics to cut pesticide reliance and support sustainable management of A. altissima forests.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jee\/toag272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]],"date-time":"2026-09-04T11:37:08Z","timestamp":1788521828000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Optimizing semiochemical trap deployment for monitoring the tree-of-heaven root weevil,\n                    <i>Eucryptorrhynchus scrobiculatus<\/i>\n                    (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"given":"Kailang","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Forestry, Northwest A&F University , Yangling, Shaanxi,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8285-3151","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hong","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Soil and Water Conservation, Northwest A&F University , Yangling, Shaanxi,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mengqin","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Forestry, Northwest A&F University , Yangling, Shaanxi,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1069-5603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaime C","family":"Pi\u00f1ero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stockbridge School of Agriculture, University of Massachusetts , Amherst, MA,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junbao","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory for Forest Pest Control, Beijing Forestry University , Beijing,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026090701260039300_toag272-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-ento-010715-023516","article-title":"The impact of trap type and design features on survey and detection of bark and woodboring beetles and their associates: a review and meta-analysis","volume":"62","author":"Allison","year":"2017","journal-title":"Annu.
