Asian hornet trap

Features of the Tap Trap® Asian hornet trap

The Tap Trap® Asian hornet trap is a clever accessory designed to effectively combat the spread of Asian hornets, a serious threat to bees and the ecosystem. Made from durable plastic, this ingenious cap fits easily onto an empty plastic water bottle, turning it into a highly effective bait trap. This system provides a solution that is simple, reusable and environmentally friendly.

Each cap has a sturdy ring that lets you hang the trap in various strategic locations:

1. On a tree branch near a beehive.

2. On a windowsill, to protect your home and garden.

3. On a vertical pole, to cover a wider area.

With this system, recycling takes on a whole new dimension: a used bottle becomes an eco-friendly tool against hornets, without the need to buy expensive or disposable traps. The package includes a set of 5 Tap Trap® caps, allowing you to protect several areas at once or rotate your traps effectively throughout the seasons.

Benefits

Investing in the Tap Trap® Asian hornet trap offers many benefits, both for individuals and for beekeepers looking to protect their hives.

Here are the main benefits:

1. Proven effectiveness: by attracting hornets with a food-based bait, this trap considerably reduces their presence around hives, orchards and gardens.

2. Bee protection: the Asian hornet is one of the biggest predators of bees. By limiting hornet numbers, you directly contribute to the survival of bee colonies.

3. Guaranteed savings: there is no need to invest in expensive disposable traps. A simple empty bottle does the job, and the cap is reusable.

4. Eco-friendliness at its core: by giving your plastic bottles a second life, you reduce waste while combating an environmental threat.

5. Easy to use: simply screw the cap onto a bottle, fill it with a bait mixture (dark beer, white wine, syrup or fermented fruit juice), then hang the trap in the desired location.

6. Versatile placement: whether in a garden, an orchard or near beehives, the trap adapts to any setting.

In short, Tap Trap® offers a practical, long-lasting response to the spread of Asian hornets. It is an essential ally for anyone looking to protect their crops, their environment and, above all, bees, which are vital for pollination.
