EcoCatch Wasps

Keep wasps off your premises with an effective and reusable wasp-monitoring device for outdoor locations.

Wasps can cause distress with their painful stings, contaminate food production sites and pose risks to pets. EcoCatch Wasps helps to keep them off your premises and replaces single-use wasp-control products for enhanced sustainability.

Introducing EcoCatch Wasps

EcoCatch Wasps stands out from competitors with its professional service offer, ease of use and eco-friendly nature.

Professional servicing

EcoCatch Wasps is safe, easy and fast to service. Expert technicians safely and efficiently empty the unit in accordance with your agreed-upon SLA to ensure continual optimal efficacy.

Re-usable

Over 35% of each unit is made from recycled plastic, and EcoCatch Wasps can be reused when compared to disposable traps, reducing single-use plastic waste.

Flexible installation

The product is flexible to install, as it can be hung or wall or pole mounted and doesn’t require electricity. So, it’s suitable for use virtually anywhere outdoors.

How EcoCatch Wasps works

Placement and installation

Our expert technicians will survey your premises and determine the best location to install EcoCatch Wasps to control wasps outdoors, such as around bins, outdoor dining areas or entrances. They’ll then install the product in the strategically determined location.

Wasp attraction

EcoCatch Wasps combines visual and olfactory cues to increase the effectiveness of the trapping process and enable a high catch-rate.

Research indicates that wasps are highly attracted to certain colours, particularly pink. In a controlled study conducted at the Agricultural University of Athens, traps coloured pink, yellow and white were placed near apiaries. Results showed that pink traps were the most attractive to wasps, significantly more so than yellow and white. EcoCatch Wasps leverages this preference by incorporating this colour into its design to ensure a high catch-rate. We also found that wasps are more drawn to glossy surfaces than matt, and have adapted the solution to target this preference too.

The trap also uses a locally sourced attractant that adheres to local guidelines and regulations.

Trapping mechanism

Once wasps are attracted to the unit, they enter through the specially designed opening. The unique design of the traps prevents wasps from escaping once they enter, ensuring effective trapping and control.

Servicing

The trap is a serviceable fixed bait point, making it the most suitable product for offering an exterior wasp-monitoring service. Technicians can service it regularly, in line with SLAs, to ensure optimal efficiency.
