Speed Esca Trap Wasp & Hornet Trap with 250ml Liquid - 620014

The Speed Esca Trap ready-to-use hanging wasp and hornet trap (product code 620014) is an advanced biocidal device engineered by Zapi for effective outdoor monitoring and mass capture of stinging hymenoptera adults. The kit includes a robust reusable outdoor trap housing and a pre-measured 250 ml bottle of liquid attractant refill, powered by exclusive Zapi Technology to provide immediate capture results and active attraction for up to 3 weeks. The trap features a specialized yellow chromotropic lid that leverages insect visual stimuli to drive wasps and hornets directly into one-way entry funnels, preventing them from escaping. Formulated to control common and paper wasps (Vespula spp., Polistes spp.) as well as the European hornet (Vespa crabro) and the predatory Asian hornet (Vespa velutina), it provides a safe, chemical-spray-free perimeter defense for outdoor living areas, fruit orchards, and apiaries.

• Yellow Chromotropic Visual Attraction: High-visibility yellow cover specifically calibrated to exploit visual attraction cues of wasps and hornets, channeling them into the entry cone.
• Long-Lasting Efficacy up to 21 Days: Slow-evaporation lure chemistry designed to sustain continuous olfactory attraction outdoors for three consecutive weeks.
• Broad Spectrum Against Stinging Pests: Controls common social wasps, paper wasps, European hornets, and invasive Asian hornets (Vespa velutina) without releasing airborne aerosols.
• Over-The-Counter General Sale Biocide: Officially registered PT-19 biocidal formulation authorized for consumer use without requiring specialized pesticide licenses.

Application Areas and Machine Suitability

Sector / Application Area	Operational Capabilities & Benefits
Residential Gardens & Patios	Perimeter protection around outdoor dining spots, pergolas, pools, and barbecue areas, luring dangerous stinging insects away from humans.
Orchards and Vineyards	Protects ripening table and wine grapes, figs, and stone fruits against pest bite feeding damages prior to harvesting.
Beekeeping and Apiary Protection	Intercepts and traps aggressive European hornets and Asian hornets (Vespa velutina) around hives, reducing worker bee losses.

Operating Guidelines and Workshop Notes: Open the 250 ml refill bottle and pour the entire contents into the trap chamber without adding water or additives. Secure the yellow-capped lid tightly and suspend the trap using its top hook at roughly 1.7 meters from the ground, selecting an airy area shielded from gale winds. Hang the unit well away from heavy pedestrian walkways or outdoor seating. In high summer temperatures, locate the trap in shaded or semi-shaded branches to prevent rapid evaporation of the attractant fluid. It is strongly recommended to hang, inspect, or reload the trap early in the morning or late at dusk when wasps and hornets are docile. Monitor the liquid level periodically, refilling before the reservoir dries out completely or when the trap chamber is full of captured insects.
