Bottle-adaptable trap for wasp and hornet
control. This trap has been designed to convert conventional plastic bottles into selective capture devices for wasps and hornets.
Its operation is mechanical and does not require insecticides, making it ideal for use in beekeeping environments, gardens, and orchards where the goal is to minimize the chemical impact on bees and other pollinators.

Advantages for the beekeeper

• Compatible: Fits most commonly used plastic bottles, making it easy to prepare with readily available materials.
• Eco-friendly: No insecticides; reduces the risk of contamination in the apiary environment.
• Reusable: Durable and easy-to-clean material for multiple trapping campaigns.
• Easy assembly and operation: Simple installation that requires no special tools or technical training.
• Safety: Since it does not use poisons, it is safe for working near hives and areas where bees pass through.

Instructions for use (summarized for practical application)

• 1. Fill the bottle with the recommended wasp/velutina attractant.
• 2. Make a cross-shaped cut in the bottle to create the inlet (follow the adapter cup guide for proper fit).
• 3. Insert the bottle into the adapter, ensuring that the plastic rod next to the entrance faces downward; this makes it easier for the hornets to land and enter.
• 4. Hang the trap at a high point, protected from the wind, preferably in sunny areas (south facing) and approximately 1 m or more above the ground.
• 5. Check and empty regularly; replace the attractant according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Practical recommendations for the apiary

• Place traps on the periphery of the apiary to attract foraging wasps first and reduce pressure near the hives.
• Avoid placing them in the immediate vicinity of the hive entrance to avoid interfering with normal bee traffic.
• Combine them with other integrated monitoring and control measures to obtain better results against Vespa velutina .

Final Note:
This trap is a practical, low-impact tool for managing wasps and hornets in beekeeping environments. For effective control of high-occurrence pests, combine its use with other management measures and specific products recommended by beekeeping health professionals.
