Moth Funnel Trap
Description
The Funnel Trap is a permanent trap intended as a large area monitoring tool as part of an integrated pest management approach. It is the most commonly used trap in SP moth monitoring.
The funnel trap is uniquely designed with smooth sides. There is no lip or join that could prevent moths that land on the outside wall of the trap from walking up and into the trap, thus ensuring the maximum number of moths are caught. The pheromone dispensers for various species can be purchased separately to the traps or in the kits. They are packed in vapour-proof sealed sachets and have a field activity duration of 6 weeks or 12 weeks. The septa or vial lure is inserted in to the red plastic lure holder and fitted to the top of the funnel trap.
A separate glue insert for the funnel trap can also be purchased. Coated with specially formulated non-drying insect glue, the shaped plastic liners are designed to fit inside the Funnel Traps to help catch and retain the insects entering the trap.
It is a large capacity trap used in a permanent matrix formation. When used correctly the information from a matrix of funnel traps can help to reduce the frequency and the extent of insecticide treatments. The funnel traps can be used with both standard and long life lures. The patented stripes increase the sensitivity of the traps. These traps are designed for use as a permanent monitoring system in conjunction with SP locators to pinpoint sources of infestation. Trapped moths can be retained in the funnel traps by sticky paper inserts.
Lures not included.
