The problem
By the time you see damage, the pest has already won a round.
Spraying on a calendar wastes money on quiet weeks and arrives late in loud ones. Without monitoring there is no objective trigger for action.
What Soilo Trap does
Trap provides a simple, repeatable way to count what is arriving, and a record of how the numbers move.
Pest pressure rarely appears overnight. It builds, and the earliest sign is often a few adult insects in a trap, long before damage is visible on the crop.
Soilo Trap is a reusable, field-mounted pheromone trap. A lure attracts the target insect into a clear bucket where it can be counted. The bright yellow top is easy to spot in the field, and the transparent bucket lets you read the catch without opening the trap.
The count is the point. Recording catches over time, by field and date, shows whether pressure is rising or falling and whether an intervention is justified.
Attracts and holds target insects using a pheromone lure so catches can be counted. It is a monitoring tool; it does not by itself control a pest population.
