The use of the Boll Weevil Attract and Control Tubes or BWACTs (Bait Sticks, TMPs or TMBs) is expanding in the USA and Latin America. Field studies reported in the 1999 Beltwide Cotton Conference created an awareness for an improved residual activity. This paper reports on improvements that have been identified and have been implemented to ensure higher quality BWACTs with enhanced, extended residual control for use in Boll Weevil Eradication Programs (BWEPs) and IPM programs. It also presents results from bioassays that were conducted on the standard and an improved product. The improvements are consistent with Plato Industries' dedication of providing high quality, consistent products to its end users.
