The delta trap + two glue plates can be used for the detection and trapping of butterlies/moths and mealybugs. The traps only work with a species-specific pheromone that attracts the flying insects. The delta traps are available per 10 traps and include 20 glue plates. You can order the right type of pheromone for the pest in question separately.
The delta trap + glue plates can be used to detect and catch flying insects such as butterflies; moths and the winged males of citrus mealybugs. The trap consists of a triangular tent with glue plates on the bottom. You place the species-specific pheromone that attracts the insects on the glue plate.
How does a delta trap + glue plates work?
The species-specific pheromones lure the insects to the trap. They get stuck on the glue plate. You can determine whether you need to take measures to combat the pest on the basis of the numbers of insects on the glue plate. By counting the caught insects weekly; you can monitor the development of the pest pressure and adjust the biological control strategy accordingly.
How to combine delta trap + glue plates?
The delta trap only works with a lure that attract the insects. You can order these species-specific pheromones separately. We can supply a wide range of pheromones. We have some in stock; others we can order for you. You can also order the glue plates separately so that you can replace them regularly.
In greenhouses: January - December
T = 15 - 35°C
RV = 40 - 90%
indoor garden, vegetable production, ornamental production
Use 2 - 4 traps per 100 m² for monitoring of moths
Use 1 trap per 500 - 1000 m² for monitoring citrus mealybug
Fold the delta trap into a triangle.
Place a glue plate on the bottom of the trap, with the glue side up
Fold both edges on the base of the triangle inwards.
Hang the trap about 10 cm above the crop.
Hang the traps at regular distances from each other.
Always use the delta trap with only one type of pheromone to avoid odor confusion.
