Trapline Traps

Traps

Product guide 

Product description

The trap is suspended within the canopy of the crop. Regular inspection allows the moths to be counted. By putting traps out before the main flight of the insects, their arrival can be detected as a surge in numbers captured. This qualitative measurement allows the grower to make informed decisions on sprays or predator releases to coincide with pest egg-laying or larval hatching. Quantitative predictions are usually unreliable.

What are Funnel traps used for?

The majority of pheromone traps are used for trapping and monitoring moth pests. Even larger noctuids can be trapped. This trap can also be reversed to use as a fly trap. Some pests can also be trapped with Delta traps. The list on the back shows what traps are most suitable for which species.


What types of Funnel trap are available?

Funnel traps come as complete units with hangers and lure holder. Simply remove the green top and invert to use as a fly trap (McPhail). Lures are supplied in closed sachets (2 per sachet) for cool storage. The species should be noted when ordering. Some lures contain pheromones, which only attract the male of the species and some contain attractants which attract both males and females. For bulk orders of traps, please contact Syngenta Bioline for prices.

How are funnel traps used?

Before assembling the trap, either fill the bucket part with some water and detergent to lower the surface tension, or insert sticky moth walls. Ensuring your hands are clean, remove the lure from the sachet and place it in the holding cup, then insert it into the green roof or the transparent cup, depending on how you wish to use the trap. The trap is suspended within the canopy of the crop. Regular inspection allows the moths to be counted. By putting traps out before the main flight of the insects, their arrival can be detected as a surge in numbers captured. This qualitative measurement allows the grower to make informed decisions on sprays or predator releases to coincide with pest egg-laying or larval hatching. Quantitative predictions are usually unreliable. Identification of the insects requires experience and training. Please contact a field representative of Syngenta Bioline or the technician of our distributor for assistance in this matter.


What are Pheromone traps used for?

The majority of pheromone traps are used for trapping and monitoring Lepidoptera. Delta traps can be used for adults up to about 25mm in length. Larger noctuids are more easily trapped in funnel traps. The list below shows which traps are most suitable for which species.

The DELTA trap comes with 4 sticky plates, a lure holder and a wire hanger.

The Funnel traps come as complete units with hangers and lure holder.

Lures are supplied in closed sachets (2 per sachet) for cool storage. The species should be noted when ordering. Some lures contain pheromones, which only attract the male of the species, and some contain attractants, which attract both males and females

How to use Trapline

Follow the instructions in the pack. Avoid extremes of temperature and store in a cool dark room in the original packing. On receipt, the sachet holding the lures should be kept in a fridge or freezer until use. Handle lures carefully. Wash your hands before and after handling lures from different species. Minute traces of the attractant of one species can render the other ineffective if there is cross contamination. Do not re-use sticky inserts or lures. Burn or dispose of them safely. The sticky adhesive can be removed from hands by using white spirit or paraffin. Whilst these products use no harmful materials, the lures are small enough to be swallowed.
