Working & Structure

The trap consists of three heavy-duty components that fit together easily to form a durable unit. It is suspended using a wire or string attached to the top dome lid. The pheromone lure is placed inside the dome, which attracts insects into the trap. Once inside, the insects are unable to escape and are collected in the trap chamber. This system is highly effective for both monitoring pest populations and reducing their numbers through mass trapping.
