Raspberry Beetle Trap

Product Description

Raspberry Beetle is a serious pest of raspberries & sometimes blackberries & loganberries. The maggots burrow into the berries to feed on the plug & often go undetected until the fruit is picked. These innovative funnel traps should be placed in the garden in the spring, 4-6 weeks before the first flowers appear. The funnel trap is designed so that adult beetles, attracted by the incorporated attractant lure & colour of the cross vanes (simulating a giant raspberry flower), fall into the funnel shaped catchment area down into the holding bucket below, which is filled with soapy water to prevent them from escaping. Each raspberry beetle trap protects 200 sq.m.
