This hornet trap is designed to fit into any ordanary empty water bottle, and will catch worker Asian hornets during the summer, and then Queen hornets towards the end of the year, this way you can easily catch and monitor hornet activity through the year. This is designed for ease, by allowing you to use any normal empty plastic bottle either 100mm or 75mm sized bottles.  please note the design has 2 slots to allow for either size bottle, it is a universal fit  

 

Please note if you catch an Asian Hornet in the UK you must notify the: Asian Hornet Watch

 

How to use:

Cut the end off any plastic bottle either a 100 or 75mm bottle, insert the trap with cone facing inwards, make 6 holes in the bottle lip, make sure the holes line up with the holes on the trap lip, then use wire, cable or string to hold the trap in place. (Alternativly you could use tape)

 

Use the Yellow cap From winter up to September to catch Worker hornets as this is when they are mainly active

 

Use just the white trap (Remove the yellow cap) from September to October, as this is when the Queens are active

 

You can use the Yellow cap all year round if you like, as this will catch worker hornets all year round, but it will not allow queen hornets in towards the end of the year, for best results see above.

 

Dimensions: 102mm Diameter and 110mm Deep (from bottom to top of cone)


Please note, this is for 1 cone and 1 cap only. This is a 3D printed part, therefore the finish may differ
