Insect trap details: A compact, sticky trap, with a triangular profile constructed from grease resistant card. They have been developed to monitor and catch insects by attracting them to the food based glue inside the trap which effectively traps them. This trap benefits from the same technology as the larger Lo-Line style trap (6.1.02), but is ideal for monitoring smaller areas or for quick investigations.
This trap uses the well known and approved flavour compound food ingredients as the high performance tablet in the Lo-Line Trap, but in this trap the attractant is integrated within the glue instead of in tablet form.
Within a museum IPM strategy, the PELTrap can be used to target:
