Round plastic trap with lid, washable and reusable for years. For catching wasps, hornets or other pest insects. An attractant liquid (beer, orange soda, etc.) is added to the trap, which causes the insects to drown, so there is no need for insecticides. Trap diameter: 20 cm Height 15 cm
With a view to proper insecticide control, Sfera Trap is ideal in agronomy as well as in civilian settings, where infestations of harmful insects endanger gardens, crops and livestock farms. In addition to its very attractive yellow color during the day, its main feature is its nighttime brightness, given by a stylus-battery LED that lasts for about a month (with LED on day and night). Its best uses are both indoors such as stables, milking parlors, greenhouses, food grain storage warehouses, etc., and outdoors, defending orchards, olive groves, vineyards, gardens, campsites, country houses, etc. Sfera Trap should not be used on flowering plants. After placing the two 1.5 V Stylus batteries, insert the LED battery holder into one of the two holders (lower or upper).Sfera Trap is then ready to be assembled Before applying glue, cover the sphere with transparent film of the Domopak type, or plastic film for packaging, or disposable shower caps. After that, apply the glue. If there is a loss of adhesiveness, the glue can be applied several times, even if the trapping has already taken place. Trap Sphere in apiary is used to reduce the pressure of bee predators (hornet) European, wasp and Asian hornet) in front of beehives, without the internal LED support ?
Instructions for use Extraction: Use the supplied spatula to extract three whole larvae showing suspicious symptoms. Unscrew the lid of the extraction bottle. Deposit the larvae into the bottle, again using the spatula. Shake vigorously so that the larvae soak into the buffer solution. CAUTION - The bottle contains buffer solution and sodium azide; not to be used for human use. Carefully screw the lid back on and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds so that the larvae mix well with the buffer solution. Performing the test: Remove a test device from the aluminum package. WARNING Do not touch the viewing window. Unscrew the lid of the bottle and with the dropper provided, take a good amount of solute. For best results, draw out the solute immediately after shaking so as to prevent bacteria from settling out of the suspension. Hold the device horizontally and gently drop 2-3 drops into the 'well provided. Hold the device horizontally until the extract is absorbed (about 30 seconds) and blue coloration appears in the display window. Wait until the control line (indicated by the letter C) appears and read the result (about 1-3 minutes). Take care to dispose of the test in an environmentally friendly manner. At low temperatures, the test takes longer; the ideal temperature for the test is 18°C and above. Interpretation of resultsAfter 3 minutes, the control line should be clearly visible in the display window of the device. A positive result (indicated by the appearance of both the test line and the control line-see below) indicates that the pathogen sought is present in the sample, and that the larvae taken has been infected with American foulbrood. Note that even a faint T-line indicates a positive result.A negative result (only appearance of the control line, test line absent) indicates that the sample does not have American foulbrood pathogens. A negative test result does not guarantee the absence of AFB infection in some other part of the colony than the sample tested. Choose the sample with the utmost care.
