Pour your prepared liquid lure into the central area of the Bait Pod™. Refresh the lure inline with instructions or every 2 or 3 weeks, depending on ambient conditions and the type of lure used.

Use as a feeding station

To deploy your Bait Pod™ as a feeding station, simply set the baited Bait Pod™ without the mesh lid. A feeding station provides a controlled place for Yellow-legged Asian hornets to feed and return. This, for example, allows observation of activity levels and tracking of flight directions.

Add Use as a monitoring station

To deploy your Bait Pod™ as a monitoring station, set the baited Bait Pod™ with the mesh lid on. This provides a controlled point where Yellow-legged Asian hornets and wasps can be identified in the deployment location.

To use the Bait Pod™ with Trap-X®, place the baited pod inside the trap container. The Bait Pod™ has a weighted base, allowing it to remain upright whether the trap is deployed upright or on its side. Once the pod is in position, refit and secure the trap funnel lid.
