VespaCatch Original - Economical Asian hornet trap - VETO-PHARMA
An economical solution to fight the Asian hornet
An Asian hornet trap designed to protect hives
The VespaCatch Asian hornet trap was developed by VETO-PHARMA, a laboratory specialised in bee health. It targets Vespa velutina, an invasive species responsible for heavy losses in beekeeping.
The Asian hornet captures bees at the entrance of hives. This predation quickly weakens the colony. As a result, honey production decreases. In the long term, winter survival may be compromised.
VespaCatch is an accessible and easy-to-use solution. It helps reduce the pressure around the apiary. Thus, it fits into an overall protection strategy.
Instructions for using the Vespacatch trap
Mix in the trap:
-
- 10 mL of attractant (sold separately or in the pack "12 Asian hornet traps + Box of 100 sticks of 10 mL of attractant")
- 200 mL of water
- 50 g of sugar
When saturated or 3 weeks after implementation, renew the attractive solution.
A simple and reusable device
The VespaCatch Asian hornet trap relies on a proven mechanical principle. It attracts hornets towards a suitable entry point. Then, the insects remain confined inside the device.
Its sturdy design allows outdoor use. Furthermore, it easily adapts to different environments. It can be installed near hives, in gardens or close to at-risk areas.
Its strategic positioning improves its effectiveness. In addition, it promotes active monitoring of hornet populations. This approach makes it possible to act quickly in case of an increase in predatory pressure.

Frequently asked questions about the VETO-PHARMA VespaCatch Asian hornet trap
What is the most effective hornet trap?
Effectiveness depends on several criteria. First, the quality of design influences capture. Then, the positioning of the trap remains decisive. Finally, the regularity of monitoring improves results. An Asian hornet trap such as VespaCatch is part of a structured approach. It acts as a complement to other hive protection measures. Thus, it helps reduce the pressure exerted by Vespa velutina.
What smell does the Asian hornet dislike?
There is no universally repellent smell. In fact, the Asian hornet is mainly attracted by certain sugary or protein-rich substances. Natural repellents show variable results. As a result, they are not sufficient to durably protect an apiary. Using an Asian hornet trap is a more reliable and consistent approach over time.
Why is it not advisable to crush an Asian hornet?
Crushing an Asian hornet can release alarm pheromones. These chemical substances attract other individuals nearby. Thus, the risk of aggressiveness increases. Furthermore, direct handling exposes to potentially dangerous stings. It is therefore preferable to opt for a suitable Asian hornet trap. This method limits risks for the beekeeper and their environment.
What is the composition of the VespaCatch?
The VespaCatch consists of a reservoir and a specific entry system. Its structure is designed for prolonged outdoor use. The materials are selected for their resistance. The device does not contain an integrated insecticide. It works on a mechanical principle combined with a suitable attractant. This design allows for reasoned use as part of hive protection.

Frequently asked questions about VespaCatch Original - Economical trap for Asian hornets - VETO-PHARMA
Quel est le piège à frelons le plus efficace ?
L’efficacité dépend de plusieurs critères. D’abord, la qualité de conception influence la capture. Ensuite, le positionnement du piège reste déterminant. Enfin, la régularité de surveillance améliore les résultats. Un Piège à frelons asiatiques comme VespaCatch s’inscrit dans une démarche structurée. Il agit en complément d’autres mesures de protection du rucher. Ainsi, il contribue à réduire la pression exercée par Vespa velutina.
Quelle odeur déteste le frelon asiatique ?
Il n’existe pas d’odeur universellement répulsive. En réalité, le frelon asiatique est surtout attiré par certaines substances sucrées ou protéinées. Les répulsifs naturels montrent des résultats variables. Par conséquent, ils ne suffisent pas à protéger durablement un rucher. L’utilisation d’un Piège à frelons asiatiques constitue une approche plus fiable et plus constante dans le temps.
Pourquoi est-il déconseillé d’écraser un frelon asiatique ?
Écraser un frelon asiatique peut libérer des phéromones d’alerte. Ces substances chimiques attirent d’autres individus à proximité. Ainsi, le risque d’agressivité augmente. De plus, la manipulation directe expose à des piqûres potentiellement dangereuses. Il est donc préférable d’opter pour un Piège à frelons asiatiques adapté. Cette méthode limite les risques pour l’apiculteur et son environnement.
Quelle est la composition du VespaCatch ?
Le VespaCatch se compose d’un réservoir et d’un système d’entrée spécifique. Sa structure est conçue pour une utilisation extérieure prolongée. Les matériaux sont sélectionnés pour leur résistance. Le dispositif ne contient pas d’insecticide intégré. Il fonctionne sur un principe mécanique associé à un attractif adapté. Cette conception permet un usage raisonné dans le cadre de la protection des ruches.
