  • Cap is round & Color red.
  • The body is transparent & two sides cut as triangle size.
  • Easy to transport.

Procedure for hanging and placing pheromone bait on the trap:

  • The pheromone lure/bait should be hung from the wire along the middle of the triangular cut part of the trap.
  • Add soapy water to the bottom of the trap so that the bait is 1 inch above the water.
  • It is best to keep the triangular cut along the north-south direction.
  • After 4/5 days, the soapy water with dead insects should be thrown away and new water mixed with powdered soap should be given.
  • The pheromone trap should be tied tightly to two poles or hung from the tree at the height where the flowers and fruits are.
