The Funnel Trap is an efficient pest control device designed to capture and monitor moth populations. It consists of a funnel structure, topped with a canopy that holds a pheromone dispenser basket, attracting moths to the trap. The funnel features radial openings around its sides to allow easy entry for the insects. Attached at the lower end of the funnel is a transparent plastic bag where the captured moths fall and get trapped. The bag should be periodically cleaned and replaced based on the insect catch rate.
Product Description:
The Funnel Trap is designed with UV Stabilized Plastic Polymer, ensuring durability and effectiveness across multiple seasons. The trap utilizes pheromone lures to attract specific moth species, which are then captured in the plastic bag. Depending on pest populations, the bag may need to be emptied and replaced to maintain optimal performance.
Product Specifications:
| Materials of Construction | : UV Stabilized Plastic Polymer | Dimensions | : 14 cm (Dia) x 13 cm (H) with lure basket, or 13 cm (Dia) x 9 cm (H) without the basket, but with septa/vial fixture | Colour | : Yellow or customizable colour options | Effective lifespan | : Multiple seasons (subject to weather conditions) | Target Crops & Pests | : Spodoptera litura (Oriental Leaf Worm) in Cotton, Maize, Jute, etc., Helicoverpa armigera (Cotton Boll Worm) in Chilli, Okra, etc., Spodoptera frugiperda (Fall Armyworm) in Maize, Sweet Corn, etc. | Working Principle | : Moths are attracted by the pheromone placed under the canopy. As the moths enter the funnel, they hit the sides while flying and fall into the transparent plastic bag, where they get trapped and die. |
How It Works:
Pheromone Attraction: The moths are drawn to the trap by the pheromone in the dispenser basket placed under the canopy.
Entry: Moths fly through the radial openings in the funnel and enter the structure.
Capture: While in flight, they hit the sides of the funnel and fall into the transparent plastic bag at the bottom.
Trapping: Once inside the bag, the moths remain trapped and eventually perish.
Advantages:
Durability: Made from UV stabilized plastic, ensuring a long lifespan and reliable performance across multiple seasons.
Targeted Pest Control: Effectively captures specific moth species such as the Oriental Leaf Worm, Cotton Boll Worm, and Fall Armyworm, reducing crop damage.
Low Maintenance: The trap is easy to clean and maintain. The plastic bag can be replaced depending on the insect catch rate.
The Funnel Trap offers an eco-friendly, non-toxic solution to controlling moth pests in crops. It reduces the need for chemical pesticides, making it ideal for integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.
