Variable Rate Mating Disruption

Smart mating disruption made simple:

  • Maximum protection when your crop is most vulnerable: Variable rate mating disruption means maximum pheromone release when your crop is most at risk.
  • Late season coverage: Get prolonged coverage for late-season generations because we don’t waste pheromones when the pests aren’t active.
  • Hands-off, labor-free install: We install the system so you don’t have to.

Automated Camera Traps

No more counting sticky bases. See images and summaries of daily trap catches at the click of a button.

  • Save time: Eliminate manual trap checking to scale your scouting efforts.
  • Prioritize hot spots: Identify areas of high pest pressure from your phone or computer with automatic daily trap catch reports.
  • Hands-off, labor-free install: We install the traps and swap lures and liners for you.

Know When You Need to Act

  • Pest pressure alerts: Set thresholds for any block or trap and get notifications straight to your phone when your crops are vulnerable to improve application timing.
  • Pest models customized to your orchard: Reference site-specific pest models to fine-tune sprays for maximum impact and potentially reduce the required number of treatments over general regional pest models.
  • Pest-degree days modelling and forecast: Knowing accurate risk levels sooner means scheduling sprays and managing the challenge of logistics is easier.

Decision-Aid Highlights

Variable rate mating disruption

Our expert entomologists predict and schedule pheromone application rates in response to the current and forecast pest behaviour in your orchard for optimal impact and all season long coverage.

Pest degree-day models & forecasting

Pests develop according to the conditions unique to your crop canopy. We correlate site-driven degree-days with trap counts and weather patterns to forecast pressure and determine pheromone application rates.

Pest pressure alerts & notifications

Set degree days or trap catch alerts and get notified via email or text when pest pressure conditions are met so you and your team can act quickly.

Automated pest camera traps

Spend less time scouting in the field with automated camera traps that deliver daily trap catch images and numbers straight to your phone or computer.

Specialty crop insect pests

  • Oriental Fruit Moth (Grapholitha molesta)
  • Vine Mealybug (Planococcus ficus)

Hands-off, labor-free install

Semios’ professional Field Services team handles installation, remote monitoring, and maintenance so you don’t need to worry about the tech.

"Semios has been a great addition to our farming operation. There is simply no substitute for on-site degree day modeling. The team has been a valuable asset helping us get our codling moth under control and to control our spray timings. While Semios focuses on pest management their system is way more than just that. They offer frost control alerts, soil moisture monitoring, temperature mapping of individual blocks, and alerts sent directly to my phone. Their system is easy to use and very intuitive. I am glad to have such a valuable asset."

Joe Britton, Farm Operations Manager - Teeny Farms, Washington USA

"I like that I can go online and check your traps, see which ones are catching, and compare them to my trap catches. From there, I can prioritize which areas to go to that day based on the trap catch info. It saves me a lot of time to be able to go online and check the areas where NOW moths were caught."

Mark Anderson, Pest Control Advisor (PCA) - Blue Ocean Organics, California USA
Almond orchard

"With no previous experience using organic practices in almond production, we felt that crop protection against NOW damage was one of our major hurdles to overcome in our first year transitioning to organic. After researching all our options, we chose Semios, and couldn’t be happier. Coupled with good winter sanitation, traditional NOW targeted organic sprays, and early harvest dates, we obtained insect damage results that were equal to our other conventionally farmed orchards. These numbers are well below organic industry standards thanks to the Semios. With limited organic solutions for NOW, Semios is a critical part of our organic IPM approach, one that has proven to be both efficient and effective."
