Mini Solar Light Trap

1. Product Description

Designed for farms growing fruit, vegetables or flowers, this solar-powered trap uses yellow and blue UV LEDs to draw flying insects toward its removable collection tray. It starts automatically at dusk and can run for about four hours after receiving adequate daylight charging. A compatible pest-specific lure can also be attached separately.

2. Key Features and Benefits

• Two-colour light attraction: Yellow and blue UV LEDs are intended to attract flying and sucking pests for trapping and observation.
• Solar charging: A 2 W panel charges the built-in rechargeable battery, avoiding the need for mains wiring at the trap location.
• Automatic night use: The trap turns on at dusk and runs for approximately four hours after adequate daytime charging.
• Removable tray: Makes it easier to inspect the catch and clean the collection area.
• Optional lure support: Add a compatible pest-specific lure when needed. The lure is sold separately.
• Crop use: Intended for fruit, vegetable and flower crops.
• Field guidance: The supplied product data recommends 1–2 traps per acre. Actual placement may vary by crop and local pest conditions.

Light traps can also attract non-target insects. Check the collection tray regularly and use the trap as one part of field monitoring, not as a promise of complete pest control. (NITI Aayog guidance, ICAR guidance on IPM)
