How it works
Mode of action
The Funnel Trap Economy needs to be used in combination with Pherodis pheromone dispensers. The dispensers release a species-specific sex pheromone which lures the males of the particular pest into the trap. Once in the trap they cannot escape and are easy to detect, count and identify. Trapping males also aids in reducing the number of eggs laid by females as they fail to mate.

Preparation
- Place the pheromone dispenser in the cage and seal with the cap
