Description
Product Overview:
The VespaCatch trap is a highly effective trap specifically designed to control Asian hornets. Utilizing a natural attractant, this trap is engineered to lure and contain hornets, providing protection for your hives and gardens.
Key Features:
- Specialized Design: The VespaCatch trap features a unique yellow bowl, known to attract Asian hornets, and a strategically designed lid with two entrances. The shape and colour optimise the attraction, while the lid’s tunnel prevents hornets from escaping by focusing and directing the scent while blocking ambient light.
- Easy to Use: Setting up the trap is simple. Just add an attractant (we recommend Trappit) place the trap in high-traffic hornet areas, and let it work. The trap’s efficacy increases over time, and for optimal results, it is recommended not to clean the trap during solution renewal.
Please note: In order to protect our other important insects, we add small escape holes to these traps, allowing smaller bycatch to escape. If you do not want these holes added please let us know.
Effective Trapping Strategies:
- Spring Trapping: Target early-season hornets to limit the number of future nests and reduce the overall threat level during autumn.
- Autumn Trapping: Intensify trapping efforts during autumn when hornet activity peaks, as they search for sugar-rich food sources. This helps to protect your apiaries from severe attacks.
Recommended Placement:
- Hang traps at a height of 1.5 to 3 meters.
- Place outside your your apiary in easy to monitor locations.
Usage Tips:
- Ensure traps are placed in the right locations where hornets may be active.
- Monitor traps regularly and renew the attractant solution every three weeks or when the trap reaches saturation.
VespaCatch is a trusted trap designed to safeguard your outdoor spaces from the invasive Asian hornet. With its proven effectiveness and ease of use, it’s the ideal choice for both professional and personal use in protecting valuable ecosystems.
