Ornetin - Asian Hornet Trap
This trap is designed as a lid that screws onto Le Parfait 100mm diameter canning jars.
It's a cute, clean design that is infinitely reusable with no waste. To prime the trap, place a strand of straw in the bottom and pour two spoonfuls of feeding syrup over it. The hornets will smell it and enter the trap. Once inside, they will call all their mates.
Once the traps are filled up with hornets, simply dip them into a bucket of water and let them soak for 6 hours. Then drain, unscrew, empty and clean the jars and start again.
You can order this trap as a UNIT, PACK 3 or PACK 6 WITHOUT BOCAL, or as a UNIT + BOCAL (see options above).
Designed in France for the enjoyment of all Asian Hornets in Europe.

Specifications
- Diameter: 100 mm
- Jar: Le Parfait Familia Wiss D100
- Material: Ornetin is manufactured using an industrial injection-molding process in recyclable High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This material is weatherproof and UV-resistant. It washes perfectly and will last for many years of use.
Behind us are the days of 3D printing, which helped us get the concept off the ground in 2021-2022, but was less robust and more sensitive to temperature (no hot water, no dishwasher).
HDPE Ornetins are more compact and homogeneous. The surface roughness is also controlled and specially chosen to enable hornets to grip the surface with their paws, without allowing dirt to stick.
Simply run the trap under a jet of water, and it's ready for use again and again.
