Speed Esca Trap Wasp & Hornet Liquid Refill 250ml - Code 620013

The Speed Esca Trap ready-to-use 250 ml liquid attractant refill (product code 620013) is a high-potency biocidal lure developed by Zapi to ensure continuous trapping efficiency across outdoor wasp and hornet traps. Powered by proprietary Zapi Biocidal Technology, this pre-measured nutritional liquid lure delivers immediate capture performance and active olfactory attraction for up to 3 weeks. Designed for use within specialized hanging outdoor traps featuring one-way ingress funnels or yellow chromotropic lids, it selectively attracts adult wasps (Vespula spp., Polistes spp.) and hornets (including the European hornet Vespa crabro and the invasive Asian hornet Vespa velutina), causing them to drown inside the chamber. It provides the ideal replenishment solution for safeguarding residential gardens, dining patios, vineyards, fruit orchards, and apiary perimeters without airborne aerosol sprays.

Operating Guidelines and Workshop Notes: Before recharging, verify that no live wasps or hornets remain inside the trap; safely empty past residues and give the chamber a quick rinse. Pour the entire 250 ml refill bottle into the trap vessel without adding water or additives. Fasten the yellow-capped lid tightly and suspend the trap at approximately 1.7 meters above ground in a well-ventilated spot protected from strong gusts of wind and away from pedestrian paths. In high summer heat, position the trap in shaded or semi-shaded tree branches to minimize fluid evaporation. Perform refilling and maintenance early in the morning or late at dusk when stinging insects are lethargic. Regularly inspect fluid levels to prevent total drying and replace the lure every 3 weeks or when the bucket is saturated with trapped insects.
