Asian wasp lure 1L

Key Features

• Natural and Safe Formulation: VespaCatch is composed of purified water, ethanol, and plant extracts, free from pesticides and insecticides. This solution respects biodiversity, avoiding any impact on bees or beneficial insects.
• Proven Field Effectiveness: When used with the VespaCatch trap, the attractant demonstrates a high capacity to capture the Asian hornet, proven in field studies (ITSAP) with results of up to 2.3 times more captures than conventional traps.
• Compatible with Other Traps: Although designed for optimal use with the VespaCatch trap, this attractant can also be used in other capture devices, increasing its versatility to adapt to the beekeeper's needs.

Mixing and Usage Instructions

1. Solution Preparation: Add 10 ml of VespaCatch to a trap, along with 200 ml of water and 50 g of sugar.
2. Installation and Maintenance: Place the trap in an area frequently visited by the Asian hornet. If daily temperatures exceed 15°C, the effect will be faster and more durable.
3. Refill: Empty and renew the solution every three weeks or when the trap is full.

Practical Tips to Optimize Capture

• Adjust the Location: If no captures occur after a few hours, change the trap's position to improve effectiveness.
• Enhance the Effect: Leave a dead hornet in the trap when renewing the solution, as its odor acts as an additional attractant.
• Ideal Temperature: For maximum effectiveness, install traps when the ambient temperature is above 15°C.

Why is it Useful in the Apiary?

The Asian hornet is a significant threat to bees, as it hovers around hives, causing stress to bees and reducing their normal activity. With the VespaCatch attractant, you can keep the Asian hornet under control, allowing your hives to function without interruptions or risks. This translates into greater peace of mind for the beekeeper and a healthy environment for the bees, optimizing the production and performance of the apiary.
