Light trap

Product overview
Efficient, eco-friendly insect light traps designed for targeted pest attraction, monitoring and control in agricultural environments. These devices support reduced chemical pesticide use and more precise pest management while limiting impacts on non-target beneficial insects.

Types included

• Solar-powered compact insect trap
• Wind-suction insecticidal lamp
• Electric shock insecticidal lamp

Solar-Powered Compact Insect Trap — key features and usage
The solar compact model combines customized LED light wavelengths with a reverse-suction fan to attract and capture small pests effectively. An anti-escape cover prevents trapped insects from fleeing, which improves capture rates and reduces bycatch of beneficial species. Recommended applications include tea gardens, orchards and open-field crops where continuous, low-maintenance monitoring and targeted control are required.

Research and development
Devices with anti-escape designs were developed with agricultural research teams. Field studies highlight the influence of device structure, light source height above the canopy and local climatic conditions on trapping efficacy, notably for the tea leafhopper Empoasca onukii. Results show increased catches with the anti-escape cover and identify optimal post-sunset trapping windows and light-height ranges for maximum efficiency. Seasonal and environmental factors can alter performance (e.g., reduced efficacy during certain autumn peaks).

Benefits

• Eco-friendly pest monitoring and control adapted to agriculture
• Potential to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides
• Minimizes harm to beneficial insects through targeted wavelengths and anti-escape design
• Suitable for tea gardens, orchards and open-field crops
