FAQS

The Bait Pod™ is an innovative, bycatch-friendly bait delivery container designed to work with traps like Trap-X® for monitoring invasive insects such as Asian hornets. Its main purpose is to provide a cleaner, safer, and more efficient way of deploying liquid attractants without mess or waste.

Key Features

• Robust, weatherproof materials: Built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions and extended deployments.

• Self-righting design: Always returns to an upright position inside the trap, preventing spills.

• Spill-resistant cells: Keeps the liquid attractant contained and usable for longer.

• Bycatch-friendly: Works with selective trapping systems, stops accidental contamination of insects.

• Easy handling: Makes setting up and maintaining traps simpler and cleaner.

• Supports monitoring: Designed specifically for monitoring purposes.

How It Works

• You fill the Bait Pod™ with an attractant (e.g., food-based bait like sugar, fruit juice, or protein blends).

• It’s placed inside a trap such as Trap-X® or any compatible trap.

• The Bait Pod™ releases bait vapours gradually, luring hornets into the trap without spills or waste.
