How to use

• Remove the Delta Plastic Trap from its packaging;

• Remove the lure from the aluminum foil packaging, put it on the adhesive side of the insert;
• Place the insert (adhesive side up) into the trap and fold in the sides of the Delta Plastic Trap;
• Hang the trap - the height for trap placement is determined by the height of the crop plant and pest species;
• The lures in the traps must be replaced periodically to keep attraction rates high.

Positioning

Place the trap at the height of about 1,5-2 meters.

Positioning Density

For monitoring purposes - 2-3 traps should be deployed per 1 hectare.

Storing

Pheromone lures should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. For optimal conservation over extended periods, refrigeration is recommended. When refrigerated, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.

Delta Plastic Trap does not require specific conditions for storing. Please refer to species-specific lure for information regarding its storing.

Replacement

Replace every 4-6 weeks or as recommended by the agricultural authorities. Please keep in mind that the disposal of the old pheromone dispensers should be done away from the monitoring area, to avoid interference with the monitoring process.

Precautions

Handle with care. To prevent cross-contamination with other products, it is recommended to wear gloves when handling the product and to thoroughly wash hands before and after handling the lures.

Working Conditions

Other factors as level of incursion, climate etc should bе taken into account.
