Description
WitaTrap® Weevil Catching Tube complete set – biological control of the large brown weevil (Hylobius abietis).
The optimal trap for monitoring and catching the large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis).
The WitaTrap® weevil catching tube is for determining the existence of and for combating the large pine weevil. Only correctly designed traps guarantee the desired success in catching the weevil. The beetle is targeted and attracted by the pheromone rod. Using the entry lips, which are tapered inwards, it reaches the catching tube and can’t get back out again.
