Product of the Month - All Beetle Trap Kit with RTU Gel Cartridge

Written By Casey Vollmer

Last week we shared our insect of the month, the cigarette beetle.

This week, we are sharing a product we offer to help solve your beetle problems.

How to Solve Cigarette Beetle Problems

Working closely with the pest control industry, Insects Limited recognized pest control operators and residential customers alike needed a Ready-To-Use (RTU) device to monitor for beetles that could fit in areas suspected of insect infestation without taking much space.

This kit includes complete three-part All Beetle traps and multi-species beetle and moth attractants in a pheromone gel to monitor for the presence of food infesting insects.

The All Beetle trap has a clear view lid for easy inspection, a sturdy polypropylene base, and a replaceable tray that easily snaps in from below.

This low-profile trap slides easily beneath equipment or fits nicely into corners or along walls.

The All Beetle Trap Kit with RTU Gel Cartridge will allow you to monitor the areas needed to help determine:

  • If there is a presence of insects in the suspected area? If yes, then this All Beetle Trap Kit with RTU Gel Cartridge can help pinpoint the infestation.

  • Is the number of insects present increasing or decreasing? Further investigation or professional measures need to be taken if continuing to increase.

  • If the control measures (E.g. removal of infested product, increased sanitation, freezing of infested products, etc), that you have taken are working to reduce pest numbers or not.

Stay tuned

Next week we are going to be sharing a case study about cigarette beetles.

Insect Light Attraction: A New Explanation in the Spotlight

One of the challenges we face here in the lab at Insects Limited is that we have far more questions than answers about product ideas and new research. This issue isn’t new to business where time and resources are limited. The pipeline for new ideas is long, and only certain projects get our attention at any given time. It seems that one of our favorite projects to circle around, revisit, and refine is light attraction in stored product pests.

The Detractors: Factors that can hinder a successful pheromone monitoring program

The benefits of a pheromone monitoring program are quite well defined. When used correctly, pheromones can; 1. Give an early indication of pest species before damage or loss occurs 2. Pinpoint the sources of pest activity in large areas, and 3. Relay information on whether the steps taken to reduce pest activity are working. This article isn’t about the benefits of a pheromone program that we know to be true though.
