How to use
- Connect the sails - the two rectangular parts (should look like an "X" once connected);
- Unfold the funnel (should look like a pyramid with a cut out top part);
- Attach the collection container to the bottom part of the funnel, by securing the elastic to the cut-outs on the sides of the funnel;
- Join the sails to the upper part of the funnel;
- Attach the top part (lid) the trap;
- Using gloves, take out the lure from its foil and attach it to the opening in the trap (wash your hands before and after handling lures).
- Install the trap on the ground, necessarily in order, fixing its position with the help of nails present in the set, in order to prevent its overturning due to strong winds, etc.
- Once the trap is full of pests or there is the need to change the lure, take down the trap to be serviced and re-lured.
Positioning
Depending on the type of culture, the following installation methods are recommended:
Orchards - in this type of land it's recommended to install the trap on the ground, necessarily in order, fixing its position with the help of nails present in the set, in order to prevent its overturning due to strong winds, etc.
Flower Field - for this type of terrain, the most effective way is to mount the screens on a stand so that the dispenser is above the plants.
EC Field trap can be installed in the tree, by using the provided wire hangers.
Please note that in this case the metal pegs should not be attached to the trap.
Place the traps in the field, keeping them 20 meters apart.
We recommend installing 24 traps per 1 ha for mass-trapping purposes.
Positioning Density
For maximum efficiency, it's recommended to install the product at a distance of 20 meters between traps, calculating 24 traps per 1 hectare.
Storing
ЕС Field Trap does not require specific conditions for storing. Please refer to species-specific lure for information regarding it's storing.
Working Conditions

Decisions оn further application of pest management actions should not bе taken solely оn the data obtained from capturing the pests оn this trap.
