Trapline Traps

Sticky Traps, Rollertraps and Takitraps®

Pheromone Insect 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.

Sticky Traps

What are sticky traps used for?

Wet-sticky traps are used to trap flying insects and are useful for indicating the presence of pests. Yellow traps are particularly useful for attracting sciarids, shoreflies, aphids, whitefly and leafminers and will also trap thrips. The blue traps are more attractive to thrips, hence the two colours. Such traps are also useful for picking up signs of pest invasion into a greenhouse from doors or vents. For weekly monitoring of pests, we recommend a different trap, the dry-sticky TAKITRAP, which has 4 removable panels.


What types of sticky trap are available?

Syngenta Bioline supplies two types of wet-sticky traps: panel traps and roller traps in blue or yellow. The glue is on both sides of the plastic trap, and is of the wet-sticky type. The large size of these traps offers maximum sticky surface and they are the most economical traps to buy. They are best hung free floating in the air space above plants. The strips are made of firm, but flexible Polyethylene for long life. There are three holes on each strip to facilitate fixing of the strips to string, nails or surfaces.

How are sticky traps used?

The height at which the trap is hung in relation to the crop canopy will affect the number of insects caught. A trap can be left in position for several weeks. If it becomes full of insects, then its efficiency at trapping will decline. At this point the trap should be changed. Identification of the insects requires experience and training. Please contact a field representative changed. 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.

Instructions for use

Panel traps:
Remove traps from outer bag, peel apart rapidly to avoid the formation of “strings” and suspend in the crop just above the plant canopy (about 30cm). Adjust the position of the traps as the crop grows.

Roller traps:
Warm up before use. See instructions on reverse side of this sheet.


Storage and transport

Avoid extremes of temperature and store in a cool dark room in the original packing. 

Rollertraps and how to use them?

 
Rollertrap is a continuous roll of yellow, blue, white or transparent polythene film, coated on both sides with Oecotak insect trapping adhesive, giving a large trapping area.

It is intended for use in trapping large numbers of insects, particularly in protected cropping, but will have applications in outdoor crops where dust is not a significant problem.  It is designed to offer the most economic method of using sticky traps when comparing available trapping areas.

Oecotak insect trapping adhesive is a non-setting adhesive especially formulated for the trapping of small flying insects.  The colours of Rollertrap have been selected as being very attractive to particular insects, which become entangled and held by the adhesive when attempting to land on the trap.

For best results suspend Rollertrap just above crop height or as advised by your technician/crop adviser/consultant.

Uses

In protected cropping – glasshouses and poly tunnels to trap aphids and white fly

Outside crops e.g. vineyards to trap leafhoppers

Mushroom houses to trap sciarid and phorid flies

Installation methods – Installation/Application

Short sections can be cut from the rolls with a sharp hobby knife and suspended from a horizontal wire by sticking the plastic film to itself over the wire.  It may be helpful to suspend a light weight (clothes pegs are ideal) from the bottom edge to prevent the film from sticking to itself.

Long lengths of Rollertrap (up to and including complete rolls) can be suspended horizontally using the following methods :-

Suspend the Rollertrap film between glasshouse support stanchions or  other suitable supports by wrapping the film around the stanchion.

 Precautions

Oecotak adhesive is very sticky, it can be cleaned from hands using a quality proprietary hand cleaner and from surfaces using white spirit.  In cold conditions the adhesive is less fluid.  It is recommended that the roll is placed in a warm place over night before use.  The adhesive is then more fluid enabling the Rollertrap to be unrolled more easily.

It is important to avoid applying too much tension to the film as it is unrolled or while it is suspended as this may weaken the plastic.

If hanging clips are to be used to suspend Rollertrap caution must be taken to avoid applying too much tension to the film while suspending.

Small tears or holes in the film will cause weakness and potentially the film could break at this point.

No guarantee regarding the performance of Rollertrap if used in any other than the recommended method.

 

Takitraps

What are Takitraps used for?

TAKITRAPS are dry-sticky traps used to trap flying insects and are used for monitoring pests over a fixed time period. Yellow traps are particularly useful for attracting aphids, whitefly and leafminers and will also trap thrips. The blue traps are more attractive to thrips, hence the two colours. Such traps are also useful for picking up signs of pest invasion into a greenhouse from doors or vents and for monitoring population fluctuations over time. The dry-sticky TAKITRAP is double-sided with 4 removable panels (2 on each side) to monitor pests over a 4 week period.


What types of Takitrap® are available?

Syngenta Bioline supplies a standard TAKITRAP of 10cm x 25cm in blue or yellow. The traps are available as packs of 10 traps, or in boxes of 120 packs (1200 traps). The glue is on both sides of the plastic trap, and is of the dry-sticky or “tacky” type, which is convenient to work with, leaving no residues on fingers. The small size of these traps offers enough sticky surface for monitoring, and the traps can be spread around the greenhouse to detect different pests in critical positions. They are best hung free floating in the air space above plants. The strips are made of firm, but flexible Polyethylene for long life. There is a row of holes at the end of each strip to facilitate fixing of the strips to string, nails or surfaces, and each pack comes with twist-ties to fix the trap to any structure.
