Insect trap RHYNCHONEX® 7.5 Red

pheromone trap

It is a wet trap that is used, together with pheromones and kairomones for the detection and monitoring of the Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus and Rhynchophorus palmarum. The trap holds a volume of 7.5 litres. It is made of three easily adjustable parts, a base, a lid and a special hanger to hang the diffusers. The frustoconical shape of the base of the trap is red and has 4 perpendicular holes with measurements of 3 x 7 cm, so that the insects can enter easily. The lid is also red and has 2 other entrance holes with measurements of 3 x 7 cm. In addition, it is provided with a special hanger to hang the diffuser attractant RHYNCHONEX® ATTRACTANTS KIT. The trap includes a rhombus-shaped plastic mesh, which is specially designed to simulate the roughness of the trunk of the palm tree. This makes it easier for the Red Palm Weevils to enter the trap. PLACEMENT AND HANDLING: The trap should be placed half-buried up to the entrance holes to facilitate entry for the insects walking towards it, and preferably set in the shade. The trap is activated by hanging the diffusers RHYNCHONEX PHEROMONE AND RHYNCHONEX KAIROMONE from the lid hanger, on the inside of the trap and filling the base with water up to 4cm below the side windows.
