Insect monitoring traps

Choose a trap enquiry by name, then describe what you need to observe. The trap directory provides routes for Wing, Delta, Bucket, Fruit Fly, Clothes Moth and Pantry Moth enquiries.

Find the named trap route

An insect-monitoring purchase begins with an identifiable trap request. Use the category labels here to open the relevant conversation, and attach the reference of an existing unit when ordering a replacement. If the name came from a previous invoice, include a photograph so the supplier can relate the wording to the item your team actually holds.

Distinguish the body from the consumables

State whether you need a complete trap, a lure, a replacement board or another component requiring confirmation. For Wing Trap, the product description identifies a replaceable sticky board and use with a pheromone lure. Ask for the matching arrangement for your proposed order. Request separate confirmation for other named trap categories and their components.

Explain how observations will be used

Tell the supplier what your monitoring team intends to record and where the trap would be reviewed. Include the target identification status and the environment of the proposed programme. Ask the responsible adviser to decide how observations would inform local pest-management decisions. Keep the purchase description distinct from any action threshold or field recommendation.

Compare complete proposed packages

Ask each quotation to distinguish the trap body, proposed lure, replacement items and supporting instructions. Request an itemised response against your own list so that a bundle price can be understood. Review what needs additional confirmation before selecting a package, and keep the chosen product references together for later replenishment enquiries.
