The trap's design, which is tailored to the insect's biology, and the powerful attractant used, make it an effective tool in controlling the pest, while ensuring that the coffee produced is free of pesticide residues.

Features

  • Highly efficient mass trapping: up to 10 000 coffee berry borers per trap, per day.
  • Very selective trapping: 97% of the insects captured are coffee berry borers.
  • Commercial coffee yields are increased by 10 to 16%
  • Over several years, the cost price is lower than with insecticides.
