Replacement wicks for the Good4Bees Velutina trap (set of 2)

Product Description

The replacement wicks for the Good4Bees Velutina Trap( cotton diffuser) ensure that the attractant is released evenly and reliably attracts the Asian hornet Vespa velutina. The 2-pack is ideal for replacing existing wicks or preparing the trap for a new season.

The cotton wicks absorb the liquid attractant by capillary action and continuously release it into the air inside the hornet trap. This increases the scent intensity, enhances the bait’s attractiveness, and keeps the area around the trap appealing to the target insects.

Special Features

  • High capillary action due to a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers
  • Specially designed for the Good4Bees Velutina trap
  • White wick for easy visual monitoring of saturation level
  • Dimensions per wick: approximately 8 x 8 x 100 mm for an optimal fit in the diffuser

Advantages

  • More effective attractant distribution improves the attraction of Vespa velutina
  • Consistent scent release reduces fluctuations in trapping performance
  • Easy replacement without General Tools saves time at the apiary
  • Low attractantconsumption due to controlled release
  • Clean handling, as the attractant is bound to the wick

Conclusion on Replacement Wicks for the Good4Bees Velutina Trap

The replacement wicks for the Good4Bees Velutina trap are a small but crucial component for the effective and selective control of the Asian hornet. By regularly replacing the wicks in your trap, you ensure a consistently high level of attractiveness and reliably protect your bee colonies.

Equip your Good4Bees trap with the right replacement wicks and keep Vespa velutina at bay for the long term.

Holtermann’s Practical Tip: Replace the wicks at the start of each season and then at regular intervals, especially during warm weather. Soak the wick completely with attractant before inserting it so that the trap emits a strong scent from the start and attracts Vespa velutina more quickly.

FAQs on Replacement Wicks for the Good4Bees Velutina Trap (Set of 2)

They are specifically designed for the Good4Bees Velutina Trap and fit into the built-in attractant diffuser.

Depending on weather conditions and the attractant used, it is recommended to replace the wicks after a few weeks or when they are visibly dirty or dried out.

Slowly pour the attractant over the wick or briefly dip the wick into the attractant until it is thoroughly saturated, then place it in the trap’s diffuser.

The cotton diffuser wicks are intended as consumables and should be replaced after use, as cleaning them can impair capillary action and scent release.

The wicks themselves are neutral and serve only as carriers for the attractant. They support the trap’s selective action against Vespa velutina and spare other insects.
