The PBW Eradication Program needs a long-lasting, economical, easily applied sprayable mating disruption formulation.  In early season, this formulation would ease the logistical strain of applying the highly effective, but labor-intensive, PB Rope L.  In some areas, the sprayable may be the only treatment needed, in other cases it would be used as a stop-gap until PB Rope L could be applied.  Late season the program needs a long lasting (30 days) sprayable product for hot-spots.  Results and recommendations are presented.
