Product of the Month: All Beetle Hide Beetle Kit (IL-2000)
Last week we shared our insect of the month, the hide beetle.
This week, we are sharing a product we offer to help solve your hide beetle problems.
How to Solve Hide Beetle Problems
The All Beetle Hide Beetle Kit combines the power of Insects Limited’s signature pheromone lures for Hide Beetle, Dermestes maculatus, with the innovation of the three-part All Beetle Trap™
All Beetle Hide Beetle kits feature Insect Limited’s signature pheromone lures that use a blend of 8 different pheromones mixed into a food attractant, to draw-in hide beetles over a 3-month period. The lures are paired with the All Beetle trap which has a clear view lid for easy inspection, a sturdy polypropylene base and a replaceable tray that snaps in from below. The lures are placed in the center of the glue pads that fit into the replaceable snap-in trays.
This low-profile trap slides easily beneath equipment or fits nicely into corners or along walls where hide beetles are found. Beetles that are attracted to the lure are readily stuck in the glue upon entering the trap.
The All Beetle trap with Hide Beetle lures will allow you to monitor the areas needed to help determine:
If there is a presence of insects in the suspected area?
If the number of insects in your facility is increasing or decreasing?
Where insect populations are coming from. (The All Beetle trap can help pinpoint the infestation.)
If further investigation or professional measures need to be taken.
The clear top of the All Beetle trap allows professionals to simply glance down at the device to find out if there is a presence of insects. If not, they simply keep moving long their route, allowing more time for inspection. The loop on the top allows the device to be tethered to a permanent object, therefore reducing the possibility of a lost device as well as lost insect data.
To ensure the lid will not pull off with the tether, Insects Limited has created deeper hooks as well as securing the joints between the clear top and the blue base. The top is vented in 3 places to allow for the disbursement of pheromone and food attractants.
Each kit comes with 10 sets of the clear tops, blue bases, and snap-in replaceable trays as well as 10 Hide Beetle lures and 10 All Beetle glue boards to help monitor for the pest insects that you are trying to control.
