FAQ

What makes the Ornetin trap unique from other hornet traps?

The Ornetin trap retains only Asian hornets, reducing unwanted captures of other beneficial insects. Its design ensures superior efficiency and long-lasting reusability.

How to install the Ornetin trap?

Set-up is simple: place two spoonfuls of beet or berry syrup on an absorbent material such as straw or cotton, and position the trap in a strategic location.

How often should the Ornetin trap be maintained?

We recommend checking and emptying the trap every week. Captured hornets should be immersed in water for six hours before cleaning and rebaiting the trap.

Is Ornetin efficient all year round?

Yes, the Ornetin trap operates mainly in the dry outside spring. During the spring, it may need to be adjusted to maximize its effectiveness.

How does Ornetin protect biodiversity?

Thanks to its large openings, the trap allows non-target insects to escape, minimizing the impact on local biodiversity.

Can Ornetin be reused?

Yes, the Ornetin trap is designed to be reused. After each capture cycle, simply clean and re-bait for use again.

Why choose Ornetin rather than a homemade trap or a bottle trap?

Homemade and bottle traps often attract other insects without being effective, and require constant maintenance. Ornetin offers a targeted, easy-to-maintain, environmentally-friendly solution, with proven effectiveness against Asian hornets.

Why doesn't Ornetin use TO82 glass jars?

We chose to use Le Parfait jars rather than TO82 "honey" jars for several reasons. The superior glass quality of Le Parfait jars offers enhanced safety, and their wide, gutless opening allows for more efficient cleaning after each use. Above all, their large 100 mm opening provides a much larger display surface (+48%), making them much more attractive and therefore more effective.

Is the jar included with Ornetin?

You can choose to order Ornetin with or without a jar. When you place your order, you'll find options to buy them individually, in packs of 3 or 6. If you have a specific need, please don't hesitate to contact us.
