This 2-pack of reusable solar stations is designed for garden and patio use, featuring a blue LED attractant that helps increase nighttime capture rates for specific subspecies. The dual-tunnel entry design is effective for trapping hornets, as the geometry makes it difficult for larger insects to navigate back out of the reservoir. The unit is built with a transparent Acrylonitrile Styrene (AS) body for easy visual monitoring and a yellow ABS lid for impact resistance.
The integrated solar panel is made of polycrystalline material, which is sufficient to power the single LED discharge through the night. To maintain performance, the lid threading should be handled carefully during the peak of summer, as the two different plastics may expand at different rates in the heat. While the unit is designed for outdoor use, it does not carry an official IP rating for waterproofing; placing the station under an eave or branch can help prevent the reservoir from flooding during heavy rainfall.
Specifications note that the hanging weight limit is approximately 1.5kg. Since the included nylon cord is a common wear point, it is recommended to inspect it seasonally. For those who need a higher volume of traps for a larger property, the 4-pack version of this station may be more suitable for wide-area coverage.
