How it works
Mode of action
The Raspberry Beetle Trap combines visual and olfactory cues to attract raspberry beetles. The white cross vanes of the funnel trap mimic a giant raspberry flower which, in combination with the species-specific flower-volatile lure attracts the raspberry beetle into the trap. Once in the trap, they cannot escape and are easy to detect, count and identify.
