Agrisense Lo-line Cockroach Trap (pk10)

The AgriSense Lo-Line Cockroach Trap is a scientifically designed sticky cockroach trap with a low profile and angled entry ramps for large scale trapping of most species of cockroaches. The trap is supplied with a blister packed, non hazardous food mimic attractant tablet.

How does the AgriSense Lo-Line Cockroach Trap work?
Sticky traps are useful tools to detect and monitor cockroach populations, indicate the source of an infestation and/or assess the efficacy of a control treatment. They have been developed to monitor the three main cockroach species Blattella germanica, Blatta orientalis and Periplaneta americana but will also attract other cockroach species.

Where should the AgriSense Lo-Line Cockroach Trap be placed?
Traps should be distributed throughout the area being monitored, with particular attention being paid to those areas most susceptible to cockroach infestation eg damp, dark areas (such as ducting) or under machinery where food debris can accumulate. Each trap should be numbered and the area being monitored should be mapped. The number of each trap should be recorded along with its position. Traps must be inspected regularly, preferably weekly, and the inspection intervals (dates) and catches should be recorded for each trap.

How to service the AgriSense Lo-Line Cockroach Trap
The AgriSense Lo-Line Cockroach Trap has an activity for 6 weeks. Traps should be changed after this time or sooner if high cockroach catches have reduced the catching area of the glue surface. Performance and attractiveness will be reduced in wet, humid or dusty locations.

How to interpret results from the trap
High numbers of roaches on a trap indicate close proximity to the source of infestation or to the entry point of insects into a building - these should be the target areas for a control programme. Increasing numbers of cockroaches at each inspection imply that the population is increasing and risk surpassing acceptable levels and that a control treatment is necessary. After a treatment traps should be used to indicate the success or failure of that treatment. In areas of low infestation the traps are useful as a sensitive detection tool allowing early action to be taken before the population rises to significant levels.
