The Delta Trap is a versatile and reusable pest control solution designed to monitor and manage insect populations in gardens and agricultural settings. This trap is particularly effective for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, providing an eco-friendly and efficient method to control various insect pests without relying on chemical pesticides.

Design and Features

The Delta Trap is constructed from durable materials that can withstand outdoor conditions, making it a long-lasting investment for gardeners and farmers. Its design includes a tent-like structure that protects the sticky liner inside from rain and debris, ensuring the trap remains effective for extended periods. The trap comes with two sticky liners, which are easily replaceable, allowing for continuous use throughout the growing season.

How It Works

The Delta Trap utilizes pheromone lures specific to the target pest. These lures are placed inside the trap, attracting insects to the sticky liner where they become trapped. This method is highly effective for monitoring pest populations and determining the best times for additional control measures. By capturing insects early, the Delta Trap helps prevent infestations from reaching damaging levels.

Target Pests

The Delta Trap is designed to target a wide range of pests, making it a versatile tool for different crops and garden environments. Common pests that can be monitored and controlled using the Delta Trap include moths, fruit flies, and other flying insects. By using species-specific pheromone lures, gardeners can effectively monitor and manage pests that pose the most significant threat to their plants.

2. Early Detection and Monitoring: The trap allows for early detection of pest populations, which is crucial for effective pest management. By monitoring pest levels, gardeners can make informed decisions about when and how to implement additional control measures.

3. Cost-Effective: The reusable nature of the Delta Trap makes it a cost-effective solution for long-term pest management. With replaceable sticky liners and durable construction, the trap can be used season after season.

4. Easy to Use: Setting up and maintaining the Delta Trap is straightforward. The trap can be hung in various locations around the garden or farm, and the sticky liners are easily replaced when full.

5. Versatile Application: Suitable for use in both small gardens and large agricultural fields, the Delta Trap can be customized with different pheromone lures to target specific pests, providing a tailored pest control solution.

Best Practices for Using Delta Traps

To maximize the effectiveness of the Delta Trap, follow these best practices:

• Placement: Position the trap in areas where pest activity is likely to be high, such as near susceptible crops or entry points for insects.
• Monitor Regularly: Check the traps regularly to assess pest populations and replace sticky liners as needed.
• Combine with Other Methods: Integrate the Delta Trap with other pest management strategies, such as biological controls and cultural practices, for comprehensive pest control.

The Delta Trap is an essential tool for any gardener or farmer looking to implement sustainable and effective pest control measures. Its reusable design, combined with the targeted approach of pheromone lures, makes it a powerful ally in the fight against insect pests. By incorporating the Delta Trap into your pest management strategy, you can protect your crops and promote a healthier growing environment.

Use this trap with pheromone lures for adult Lepidoptera pests (moths) that produce larvae (caterpillars). This trap can be re-used for several seasons with replaceable Messy-less Adhesive™ Liners (PIT564).

Delta traps capture moths so they cannot mate. This may help reduce the population of a specific species, known as reducing pest pressure.

Lures are not included and must be purchased separately. Use this trap with Peach Twig Borer lure, Codling Moth lure, Supercharged Codling Moth lure, Oriental Fruit Fly lure, Stored Product Moth Lure, or Corn Earworm /Tomato Fruitworm lure.
