A reusable cone-shaped pitfall trap designed for monitoring stored product beetles within grain stores, with a tag for quick location and checking
Designed so that insects cannot walk in a straight line across the surface so they fall in to the trap
The trap also has a coated inside rim to prevent insect escape
Can be used in conjunction with a Agrisense beetle lure for maximum efficacy
Recommended for monitoring lesser grain borer, rice weevils and saw tooth grain beetles
Can be used either at the surface of the grain or can be buried up to 50 cm deep under the surface
If the trap is buried in the grain then the tag should be tied to the trap with the string hanger provided and left visible on top of the produce so it can easily be pulled out when checking the trap
