How to use
- Take out the lure from its foil pouch just before use and place it on the trap (following Trap Use instructions).

Positioning
Depending on the nature of the cultivation area, specific installation methods are advised:
Orchards: In orchard environments, it is optimal to position the trap on the ground. Secure the trap in place using the provided nails to prevent it from toppling over due to strong winds or other external factors.
Flower Fields: For areas with flower cultivation, mounting the trap on a stand is the most effective approach. This ensures that the dispenser is elevated above the plants for maximum efficacy.
