Traps & Trap Events modules

Two modules, Traps and Trap Events, provide pest management support:

  • The Traps module records information about the type and location of traps used by an institution to capture pests.

  • The Trap Events module records information about what was found in a trap on a given date.

A comprehensive set of reports provides graphical data about the prevalence of pests within your institution.

Tip: See Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for details.

Note: As every institution is able to customise EMu to suit its requirements, there are many different versions of EMu. Even where institutions have the same modules, the tabs included in each instance of the module may be different; and even where institutions have tabs with the same name, the fields on those tabs may be different. For that reason this section only provides a general description of modules.

Tab Description

Trap

The Trap Events table at the bottom of the window provides a history of pest incidents for this trap.
