Development and assessment of Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) training aids for detection canines
Getxent tubes were impregnated 136h at 4°C with Spotted Lanternfly eggs without direct contact and compared with other training aids.
The study proves that Getxent tube is the most performing training aid that only contains target odor but not the target material itself. Indeed, the exhibit the longest sniffing time and the highest probability of alert.
