Targeted Applications

Target Species: Physical trap dimensions calibrated for high-precision capture of Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips), Bemisia tabaci (Whiteflies), Leafminers, and Fungus Gnats.

Phototaxis Wavebands: Yellow base boards set to 580 nm for whitefly attraction; blue base boards set to 470 nm to optimize thrips capture based on pest phototaxis data.

Controlled Pheromone Release: Rubber septum matrix provides a linear volatilization rate of 1.5 mg/day, maintaining active pest attraction throughout a 45-day crop cycle.

Key Features

Thermal Stability: Hot-melt adhesive formulation maintains structural integrity without running, melting, or dripping under extreme temperatures ranging from -5°C to 50°C.

Moisture & Irrigation Resistance: Hydrophobic properties prevent adhesive wash-off and maintain tackiness during overhead sprinkler irrigation and heavy rainfall.

UV Degradation Resistance: Formulated with Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) to prevent adhesive hardening or skinning during 60 days of continuous direct sunlight exposure, reducing field replacement frequency.

Wind Shear Retention: Validated adhesive shear strength retains target insects up to 0.5 g during wind gusts up to 35 km/h.

Supply Chain Capacity

Monthly Output: Factory capacity of 5,000,000 trap units per month, ensuring a stable supply for high-volume commercial contracts.
MOQ & Customization Options: Unbranded stock available from 10,000 units; custom sizes, grid layouts, and private label OEM printing start at 50,000 units.
Pheromone Cold-Chain Logistics: Optional climate-controlled reefer shipping at 2°C–8°C to preserve pheromone stability and shelf life during transoceanic transit.
Lead Time: Standard 20 ft and 40 ft HQ container orders are dispatched within 21 days after final artwork approval and deposit confirmation.
Port Clearance Compliance: Export packaging uses non-wood or ISPM 15 heat-treated materials to support smooth customs clearance in North American and European markets.

Compliance

REACH & RoHS Compliant: Formulated using bio-inert polyisobutylene polymers; all raw plastics and chemical formulas comply with EU REACH and RoHS standards, verified by independent third-party laboratory reports.
ISO 9001:2015 Traceability: Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality protocols with full lot-number traceability from raw polymer production to finished pallets.
Documentary Transparency: Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) verifying adhesive coating weight (g/m²) and pheromone release performance.

FAQ

Q: How should sticky traps be stored before use?

A: Keep unopened traps in a cool, dry warehouse between 5°C and 30°C away from direct sunlight. Under these conditions, the adhesive and pheromone remain effective for 24 months from the manufacturing date.

Q: How many traps are recommended per hectare?

A: For routine monitoring, install 20–40 traps per hectare. For mass trapping during heavy pest pressure, increase the density to 100–150 traps per hectare, depending on the target species.

Q: Can the traps be used together with biological pest control?

A: Yes. The traps are fully compatible with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs and can be used alongside beneficial insects and selective pesticides.

Q: How are the traps packed for international container shipments?

A: Standard export cartons are moisture-resistant and palletized for long-distance transportation. A 40 ft HQ container can be configured to maximize loading efficiency.

Q: What is the recommended replacement interval in the field?

A: Under normal growing conditions, replace the sticky trap every 6–8 weeks or sooner if more than 70% of the adhesive surface becomes covered with insects, dust, or plant debris.

Q: Are the traps suitable for both greenhouses and open-field crops?

A: Yes. They are widely used in greenhouses, tunnels, orchards, and open-field vegetable production.

Q: Can customized trap colors and pheromone lures be supplied for different pests?

A: Yes. OEM production supports customized trap colors, dimensions, printed designs, and pheromone formulations.

Q: Which independent laboratory verified the REACH and RoHS compliance, and can I request the report?

A: Compliance testing was conducted by Bureau Veritas, and the report reference number is issued with every formal quotation, so buyers can request direct verification from Bureau Veritas's client portal.
