Carousel Trap
Carousel Trap
The Carousel Trap is an insect pest surveillance trap specifically designed for use with Vial-Lure™ controlled-release attractant systems.
It supports early detection and population monitoring of tephritid fruit flies in agricultural and regulatory programs.
Its structural design allows proper positioning of sealed vial attractants, supporting consistent release over time while minimizing contamination, handling issues, and environmental interference.
The Carousel Trap is commonly deployed in programs where clean handling, lure stability, and long-lasting field performance are essential for reliable surveillance results.
Designed for Vial-Lure™ Systems
This trap is engineered to work in direct combination with Vial-Lure™ food-based attractants, using a controlled-release vial format rather than exposed food baits.
The sealed vial system improves trap clarity, reduces odor contamination, and helps limit non-target interference compared to traditional liquid or solid food lures.
By supporting a consistent release rate, the Carousel Trap helps maintain stable attraction performance throughout the surveillance period, particularly in warm or variable field conditions.
Applications
The Carousel Trap is used in fruit fly surveillance programs, including early detection and population assessment initiatives targeting tephritid species.
It is suitable for deployment in orchards, agricultural production areas, and regulatory surveillance zones where food-based attractants are required without the logistical challenges of traditional bait preparation.
