Insect trap EOSTRAP®

for crops

The EOSTRAP® trap is made of easily-adjustable parts with natural refrigeration, aerial ventilation and diffusion of insect attractants by means of the Venturi Effect. The Venturi Effect produces a rising current of warm air though the overhead nozzle that expands the attractant inside the trap. The trap is made of a plastic polymer that does not emit odours when heated by the sun and can withstand ultraviolet rays. It has an average lifespan of 6 to 7 years. The yellow truncated base of the trap has 4 perpendicular openings which allow the insects to enter easily but which prevent rainwater from entering. At the base of the trap can be placed any substance capable of killing or retaining the captured insects inside, such as olive oil. The trap lid has a plastic support to hold the diffuser in place. It comes with a wire hanger from which it can be suspended from trees or other supports. The EOSTRAP® traps allow for the combined use of attractants for insects based on pheromones and food. The pheromone diffuser is laid in the upper plastic support and the food attractant in the trap base. The insects die by drowning. Due to the trap's large capacity it has been designed to capture all types of insect, particularly Diptera (such as Ceratitis capitata, Bactrocera oleae and the common fly), Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, particularly the larger moths, especially when there are a large number due to their large capacity. In addition to its large capacity for captures the EOSTRAP® traps are suitable for capturing intact insects which allows for a better morphological study of them. The traps are particularly recommended for use in areas with a lot of dust.
