CROSSTRAP® MINI TRANSPARENT WITH WET COLLECTION CUP state-of-the-art in cross-vane traps to help capture forest pests. This trap is product of an R &; D project (University of Murcia - ECONEX) aimed at developing traps and attractants for forest pests.

It is a trap that is used without bait, usually for research.

The trap consists of a polypropylene lid, 33 cm in diameter with a central carabiner attached to a steel spring. Two reinforced sheets of transparent blue PVC are held in place by four steel springs in the lid's upper section, serving as shock absorbers against strong winds. This helps to avoid damage to the trap. In the lower section, the reinforced PVC sheets are held in place by a polypropylene funnel, 30 cm in diameter and four steel springs. The CROSSTRAP® WET COLLECTION CUP for the captured insects is in the lower section of the funnel and is attached by metal screws.

The wet collection cup has approximately a 2 litre capacity (12,5 cm diameter x 19 cm height) and is provided with drainage in the upper section to prevent it from filling with rainwater.

Wet catches allow the precise identification of insects. It is therefore recommended to fill the collection cup with 10 ml of propylene glycol diluted to 10 or 20%, or if applicable, use automobile anti-freeze. This liquid serves both to kill catches as a preservative, provided it is not diluted too much rain, in which case it should be replaced.

Once deployed the trap measures 33 cm in diameter by 100 cm in height. When folded up it measures 30 cm in diameter and 40 cm in height which facilitates transportation.

POSITIONING AND USE: The trap should be suspended horizontally with a rope in-between two trees or from one of the branches, taking care that the trap does not come into contact with the tree trunk. In this way, the trap does not knock against the tree and break, therefore ensuring that the insects are able to distinguish the trap from the tree trunk and go to the CROSSTRAP® trap.

The height of the installed trap is not of importance, as long as the collection cup does not touch the ground or any other object. A metal support designed specifically for this purpose is also available: ECONEX CROSSTRAP® SUPPORT (Code: TA147).
