Material

• Ornetin is manufactured using an industrial injection molding process in recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This material is weather- and UV-resistant. It washes perfectly and will last for many years.
• The caps and nozzles are made of PETG

Maintenance

• The days of 3D printing are behind us. It allowed us to launch the concept in 2021-2022, but it was less robust and more sensitive to temperature (no hot water, no dishwasher).
• The HDPE Ornetins are more compact and uniform. Their surface roughness is also controlled and specially chosen to allow hornets to grip with their legs, without dirt sticking to it.
• Simply rinse the trap under running water to reuse it again and again.
• The UV-reflective treatment is integrated into the material and does not wear off.

There are mainly two trapping methods depending on the season:

In spring, for trapping queens, remove the green caps to allow Vespa germanica to exit and use the blue nozzle. The best bait for this period is a mixture of red fruit syrup / light beer / white wine in equal parts (33% each). Pour to a height of 1 cm and place the trap in a vertical position.

In summer and autumn, put the green caps back on and replace the nozzle with the purple one. The best bait at this time is sugar syrup poured onto an absorbent material such as straw. Place the trap horizontally, either on the ground or suspended.
