Delta Traps
Delta Traps
A delta trap is a type of insect trap commonly used for monitoring and trapping agricultural pests. It is designed to attract and capture insects that are attracted to pheromone tablet lures. It catches small to medium-sized flying insect pests.
Delta trap is triangular-shaped; made up of durable, corrugated plastic and bright colored. Its base acts as a landing platform for the insects. It is coated with non-drying glue to trap insects. The glue is coated on all three inner sides of the delta trap to increase the catching efficiency. The tablet lure can be placed centrally as shown in the photos.
The delta trap design is effective for monitoring and trapping the insect. The triangular shape and bright yellow color of the trap make it visually attractive to flying insects. It is used with pheromone lure. Insects are lured through it and drawn towards the trap, eventually landing on the sticky surface and getting trapped.
The trap installment is simple and quick. It just requires addition of pheromone lure, which is placed in the center of the trap base.
