I would think until they start swarming, yes, it would be pointless. When do swarms in your area start to pop? Swarms are popping over here left and right, and I have a couple of swarm traps out using the pheromone lures, and a couple others using LGO. So far I've struck out with both of those. I had a swarm come to my house and land on my roof, and had one of my hives swarm two days later. Neither went to the traps. So right now I am losing faith in them. I hopefully you will have better luck.
