Plum Curculio (PC) Questions and tips

I was going to ask if anyone does this. Good to know it works. On trees with only a small number of fruits, I think it would be worthwhile. Better than getting no fruits at all.

Since some PC crawl up trunks and some fly to canopy, and this appears to be somewhat temperature and time related from what I have read…
Is it helpful to wrap a portion of the trunk and apply Tanglefoot? I was wondering if this could help with timing of sprays if you observe PCs caught in the Tanglefoot, then you might have another clue that their emergence/activity is increasing?
