TAKITRAPS are dry-sticky traps used to trap flying insects and are good for monitoring pest over a fixed time period. Yellow traps are particularly useful for attracting aphids, whitefly and leafminers and will also trap thrips. The blue traps are more attractive to thrips, hence the two colours. Such traps are also useful for picking up signs of pest invasion into a greenhouse from doors or vents and for monitoring population fluctuations over time. The dry-sticky TAKITRAP is double-sided with 4 removable panels (2 on each side) to monitor pests over a 4 week period.
Syngenta Bioline supplies a standard TAKITRAP of 10cm x 25cm in blue or yellow. The traps are available as packs of 10 traps, or in boxes of 120 packs (1200 traps) .The glue is on both sides of the plastic trap, and is of the dry-sticky or "tacky" type, which is convenient to work with, leaving no residues on fingers. The small size of these traps offers enough sticky surface for monitoring, and the traps can be spread around the greenhouse to detect different pests in critical positions. They are best hung free floating in the air space above plants. The strips are made of firm, but flexible Polyethylene for long life. There is a row of holes at the end of each strip to facilitate fixing of the strips to string, nails or surfaces, and each pack comes with twist-ties to fix the trap to any structure.

The height at which the trap is hung in relation to the crop canopy will affect the number of insects caught. A trap can be left in position for several weeks. If it becomes full of insects, then its efficiency at trapping will decline. At this point the trap should be changed. Identification of the insects requires experience and training. Please contact a field representative of Syngenta Bioline or the technician of our distributor for assistance in this matter.
Remove traps from outer bag, peel of 1 paper panel section and hang in the crop just above the plant canopy. Adjust the position of the traps as the crop grows. Monitor insect catches after 1 week, then peel off the next paper section
Avoid extremes of temperature and store in a cool dark room in the original packing.
