Yellow cones for Asian hornet trap 10 pieces

These yellow cones for Asian hornet traps, sold in a set of 10 pieces, are designed for making a selective trap for the Asian hornet. Ideal for making your own traps or creating a trap with multiple openings.

To catch the Asian hornet queen, the holes in the cones need to be enlarged to a size of 8.5 mm. Asian hornet queens can pass through an 8.5 mm opening, but European hornet queens cannot. Enlarge the opening using an 8.5 mm drill bit or heat the cone with a heat gun and then push the 8.5 mm drill bit through. This size also allows you to catch worker hornets.

CAUTION: When heating the opening, the cones can melt together if you work on multiple cones at once! Separate them in time or enlarge the opening one cone at a time!

However, if you only want to catch worker hornets, the opening should be between 7.8 and 8 mm. The current size of the inlet hole is approximately 7.25 mm and the outer diameter is 47.6 mm.

Trappit bait (30 ml, 1 l or 5 l) to regularly refresh the bait can be found here.

By mounting the cone in a queen excluder, smaller insects can leave the trap again. Tip: mount the cone in a piece of PVC queen excluder. From a Dadant queen excluder 50 x 50 (prod. 1096) you can get multiple small excluders.
