Data sheet

Code: P-25012INF Categories: Monitoring, Traps line

CYMATRAP® GARDEN is the recommended trap for domestic/hobby use to monitor the presence of Halyomorpha halys (Brown marmorated stink bug)in vegetable gardens, small orchards and gardens. The unique pyramyd shape is specifically designed to effectively catch adult and nest bugs.

CYMATRAP® GARDEN is a valuable tool to control Asian Bedbug population in three ways:

it signals overwintering adults leaving their winter sites and monitors their return to the field.
its pyramid shape helps trap juvenile stages witch, unable to fly, climb up the vertical panels and into the jar. Signalling the presence of newborns is a fundamental piece of information that allowa timely action to limit the spread of those species. Neanaids are more sensitive to insecticide treatments than adults.
at the end of the season

CYMATRAP® GARDEN intercepts and stops adults that tend to take refuge in crevices for winter diapause.
Overwintering insects initially respond little to pheromones because they are more interested in finding food. After this initial phase, which lasts a few weeks, their phisiology changes and pheromones begin to exert a greater effect, becoming maximum on juveniles (neanids). The number of catches can vary accordingly to many factors, the best results are usually seen from mid-July onwards. Neanids don’t fly, they can only walk, so it’s important to place the base of the trap on the ground to allow them to climb over the trap and enter the jar containins the pheromone

Usage tips

CYMATRAP® GARDEN is the recommended trap for domestic/hobby use in vegetable gardens, small orchards and
gardens.
The pyramid shape is specially designed to effectively catch adults and nymphs.
The dimensions are 45 cm high and 16 cm on the base sides.

CYMATRAP® GARDEN is a valuable tool for controlling the stink bug population in three ways:

Intercepting of overwintering adults leaving their winter sites and monitoring their return to the field.
Through its unique pyramid shape that favours the capture of juvenile stages, which, unable to fly, climb the vertical panels until they
finish up the inside of the container. Monitoring the presence of nymphs provides fundamental information that makes timely action
possible to limit the spread of the species, as nymphs are more sensitive to insecticides than adults.
At the end of the season, CYMATRAP® GARDEN intercepts and blocks adults that tend to take refuge in winter diapause
crevices. The trap can be used both for monitoring and for mass trapping of the insect. For areas such as those of gardens and
kitchen gardens, monitoring of the bug population can be carried out using 1 or 2 traps. If the traps are used to limit the development
of the stink bug through mass trapping, it is necessary to install the traps to cover the entire area concerned, considering a maximum
distance between traps of 20 metres and a distance between building entrances of 6 metres.

For proper monitoring, install three traps less per hectare from March until September/October. Check the insect catches on a weekly
basis. Over-wintering insects initially respond little to pheromones because they are more interested in finding food. After this initial
phase, which lasts a few weeks, their physiology changes and the pheromones begin to exert greater influence on behavior, which
reaches its maximum on juveniles (neanids). The number of catches can vary depending on many factors; the best results are usually
seen from mid-July onwards.

Nymphs do not fly, but only crawl, so it is important to place the base of the trap on the ground or on fences or other structures in direct
connection with the ground, so that the nymphs can climb over the trap and enter the jar containing the pheromones

It is recommended to place CYMATRAP® GARDEN in the areas of the farm most favourable to the development of Halyomorpha
halys, particularly in the crop perimeter areas located near hedges and buildings.
Provide additional traps on any sides or points at risk. Replace dispensers every 8-9 weeks.
Warnings: Use traps outdoors only.
