VespaCatch attractant is a selective and natural solution for controlling the Asian hornet (Vespa velutina), specially formulated to protect hives without affecting bees. This attractant is safe and efficient, ideal for beekeepers looking for an effective defense against the Asian hornet without risks to their apiary.

Highlighted Features

• Natural and safe formulation : VespaCatch is composed of purified water, ethanol and plant extracts, without pesticides or insecticides. This solution respects biodiversity, avoiding any impact on bees or beneficial insects.
• Proven field efficacy : When used with the VespaCatch trap, the attractant shows a high capture capacity of the Asian hornet, proven in field studies (ITSAP) with results of up to 2.3 times more catches than with conventional traps.
• Compatible with other traps : Although designed for optimal use with the VespaCatch trap, this attractant can also be used in other capture devices, increasing its versatility to adapt to the needs of the beekeeper.

Mixing and usage instructions

1. Mixing the solution : Add 10 ml of VespaCatch into a trap, together with 200 ml of water and 50 g of sugar.
2. Installation and maintenance : Place the trap in an area where Asian hornets frequently pass through. If daily temperatures exceed 15°C, the effect will be faster and longer lasting.
3. Refill : Empty and renew the solution every three weeks or when the trap is full.

Practical tips to optimize your catch

• Adjust the location : If no catches appear after a few hours, change the position of the trap to improve its effectiveness.
• Reinforce the effect : Leave a dead hornet in the trap when renewing the solution, as its smell acts as an additional attractant.
• Ideal temperature : For maximum effectiveness, set traps when ambient temperatures are above 15°C.

Why is it useful in the apiary?

The Asian hornet is a significant threat to bees, as it hangs around hives, causing stress to bees and reducing their normal activity. With VespaCatch attractant, you can keep the Asian hornet under control, allowing your hives to operate without interruptions or risks. This translates into greater peace of mind for the beekeeper and a healthy environment for the bees, optimizing the production and performance of the apiary.
