Flat Trap (No Attractant) (IL-550)
Flat traps should be paired with a pheromone lure. Insects that are attracted to the lure are readily stuck in the glue upon entering the trap. The traps without a lure will not attract insects into it.

Features and Benefits
The Flat Trap design allows both crawling and flying insects to easily enter and be captured. The trap has a tacky glue interior that will allow for the capture and monitoring of a large number of insects.
What to Expect
When you open the bag containing the traps, you will find the un-assembled traps stacked on top of each other. Each trap will need to be folded along it creases prior to removing the release paper from the glue surface. Once the trap had been folded into shape and the release paper has been removed, your lures should be removed from their packaging and placed in the center of the glue pad on the bottom of the trap. The opposing sides on the top of the trap can then be secured to each other to create a stable trap that is ready to begin capturing insects.
The traps are then ready to be placed out in areas where the target insects are being seen.
This will begin the process of monitoring for male food or fabric insect pests that are attracted to the female sex pheromones in the lure. These traps will give you the information that you need to reduce or remove your pest issue. If the glue from the trap accidentally gets onto your hands, it is not toxic and can be easily washed off using soap and warm water.

How Was the Product Tested?
We first start with intense lab testing. Our entomology lab has 1x1 meter arenas set up where we create a test environment where insects have been introduced. We look at the capture rate compared to other popular trap designs. In designing this trap, we looked at the ease of insect entry, the profile size that allows the trap to be placed under furniture or equipment and the ability of the glue to grab and hold onto insects once they have entered.
Once we found out that this trap outperformed other traps on the market, we tested the devices in the field. We have created relationships with some of the best pest control operators in the industry. We trust these PCOs to test our products thoroughly and give us honest feedback.
We received not only positive feedback from the professionals, but feedback that our product worked better than the other products. After that, we were ready to take our design to manufacturing and make it available to everyone.
