Gumtree Spp Diamond Trapp Support Page

In April 2024, Gumtree Traps Private Limited (Gumtree Traps), India’s leading glue-based trap manufacturer, launched their SPP Diamond Trapp to monitor stored product pest moths.

The SPP Diamond Trapp attracts and traps male almond moths (Cadra cautella), raisin moths (Cadra figulilella) and warehouse moths (Ephestia elutella) when used with an appropriate pheromone lure.

Giridhar Pai Associates LLP is the distributor of Gumtree Traps’ SPP Diamond Trapp.

Instructions

• Unfold the trap and remove the release paper from both sides of the trap.
• Securely fold the side flaps along the crease line provided, creating a diamond-shaped trap.
• Position the pheromone lure at the centre of the trap and hang the trap using the strings provided with the trap.
• Check traps weekly to record the moth catches in the table provided outside the trap.
• The trap can be counted twice weekly if you suspect product infestation. Even daily counting may be required in an extensive pest infestation outbreak.
• Install the traps at a height of 1.5 metres from the floor and maintain an interval of 15-20 metres between the two traps. The traps must form a grid to cover the entire space being monitored for stored product moth pests.
• Place SPP Diamond Trapps strategically where moth activity is most likely, such as warehouses or other dark and undisturbed spaces where stored product pest moths may breed or occur.
• Replace the SPP Diamond trapp and store the product moth pest pheromone lure every eight weeks with a fresh set.
