Unit of packaging
Bag with 2 delta traps, 8 sticky inserts and suspension hooks

 

To be ordered separately:
Sachets with 4 pheromone capsules with species-specific sex pheromone (see text on sachet)

 

Use
To monitor butterflies/moths or male alate mealy bugs inside or outside the greenhouse.

 

Quantity to be used
• 2-4 traps per hectare for each expected type of butterflies/moths
• for mealybug use 1 trap per 500 - 1000 m²

 

Procedure
Mount the desired number of pheromone traps as described under 'Assembly'. Hang the traps approx. 10 cm above the crop in a location where they can readily be inspected (e.g. along the centre aisle). Distribute the traps as evenly as possible over the area, in order to avoid interference.

 

Assembly
Fold the delta trap into a triangle. Pass the metal suspension wire through the two holes in the top of the delta trap and twist the two ends together. Lay a sticky trap on the bottom of the trap, with the adhesive surface facing upwards. Fold both side edges at the base of the triangle inwards. Hang the trap in the appropriate place.

 

 

 

Storage and handling
• The cardboard box with delta traps does not require specific storage conditions

 

Remarks
• Note the trap’s serial number and the pheromone it contains on an outer surface of the triangle.
• Wash your hands before assembling traps for a different species of butterfly or moth.
