Instructions

What are Delta traps used for?

The majority of delta traps are used for trapping and monitoring Lepidoptera. Delta traps can be used for adults up to about 25mm in length. Larger noctuids are more easily trapped in funnel traps (see our multipurpose funnel trap). The list on the back shows which traps are most suitable for which species. The small Delta trap is particularly used for the Pea moth (Cydia nigricana) for which a special kit is available, including trap, post, pheromones and instructions for interpretation. The pea moth kit is a spray decision tool.

What types of Pheromone trap are available?

The DELTA trap comes with 4 sticky plates, a lure holder and a wire hanger. Additional sticky walls can be ordered separately. Lures are supplied in closed sachets (2 per sachet) for cool storage. The species should be noted when ordering. Some lures contain pheromones, which only attract the male of the species, and some contain attractants which attract both males and females

How are Pheromone traps used?

The trap is suspended within the canopy of the crop. Regular inspection allows the moths to be counted. By putting traps out before the main flight of the insects, their arrival can be detected as a surge in numbers captured. This qualitative measurement allows the grower to make informed decisions on sprays or predator releases to coincide with pest egg-laying or larval hatching. Quantitative predictions are usually unreliable, except in the case of the pea moth.

Instructions for storage, transport and use

Follow the instructions in the pack. Avoid extremes of temperature and store in a cool dark room in the original packing.
On receipt, the sachet holding the lures should be kept in a fridge or freezer until use. Handle lures carefully. Wash your hands before and after handling lures from different species. Minute traces of the attractant of one species can render the other ineffective if there is cross contamination.
Do not re-use sticky inserts or lures. Burn or dispose of them in domestic refuse. The sticky adhesive can be removed from hands by using white spirit or paraffin. Whilst these product use no harmful materials, the lures are small enough to be swallowed.
