Description
A sturdy plastic bucket trap made up of five components:
- Lid
- Lure basket (cage)
- Trap funnel
- Trap base (bucket)
- Wire hanger
Product features
- Easy to set up (see instructions here)
- Re-usable
- Suitable for use in a wide range of crops
This trap is ideal for use with pheromone lures to monitor pests such as Heliothis (Helicoverpa spp.) and fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda).
Bio-Trap DDVP (Dichlorvos) cubes can be used with the bucket trap to provide quick and effective knockdown of insects as they enter the trap. These DDVP cubes are sold as a seperate product and are not included when you purchase your bucket trap.
It is strongly recommended to use DDVP cubes when monitoring fall armyworm. At this early stage in the incursion of this exotic pest it is important to identify fall armyworm moths in the trap. A quick kill helps keep moths in tact for identification. Use of DDVP cubes with a fall armyworm pheromone lure is approved by the APVMA under permit PER89169. Traps must be labelled as per the instructions in this permit.
