-
Standardised Test Subjects
Insectary-reared insects are of known age, health status, and genetic background. This ensures consistent data collection during trap testing, allowing for a more precise evaluation of trap efficacy.
-
Targeted Species Availability
By housing specific pest species, the insectary guarantees a readily available supply of insects for trap development and refinement. This eliminates the need for unpredictable field collection efforts and allows for year-round research.
-
Tailored Lure Development
The controlled environment of an insectary facilitates the testing of various lure components and formulations. Researchers can directly observe insect responses to different stimuli, enabling them to refine pheromone blends and food attractants for maximum effectiveness.
-
Behavioural Observations
Insectary colonies enable close observation of insect behaviour in a controlled setting. This allows our researchers to gain valuable insights into the target insect’s responses to trap design features, such as colour, shape, and placement.
-
Improved Trap Design
By observing insect interactions with prototypes, researchers can optimise trap design for increased capture efficiency and reduced bycatch of non-target species.
Our Sectors
Arable
Climate change and pests like aphids and locusts threaten arable crops, reducing yields and spreading plant diseases.
Horticulture
Greenhouses boost yields but also shelter pests like whiteflies and thrips, which spread fast and resist pesticides.
Forestry
Pests like bark beetles and ash borers kill trees, spreading unnoticed and weakening forests as climates warm.
Pest Control
Stored food and homes face pests like weevils and bed bugs, which hide well, spread fast, and resist treatments.
