The Stingmon Solar station is built with a 1.8mm Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) chassis, offering a more robust structure than many standard models. It features a dual-entry tunnel design to prevent "hover-only" behavior and an integrated blue LED for nighttime hornet attraction. The wide-mouth opening is a practical design choice that helps reduce the time needed for cleaning and refilling the unit.
While the ABS material is impact-resistant, specifications indicate the solar lid does not include a rubber gasket. To help manage bait levels, it is best to hang the unit vertically and avoid extreme tilting. In areas with high UV indices, the polymer may eventually show signs of chalking; however, the thicker walls provide a solid foundation for several seasons of use. The solar panel is most efficient when kept clear of dust and debris.
Using a blue LED lure has shown high efficacy in evening testing for hornet attraction, making this a useful tool for areas with twilight activity.
Features of this reusable station include:
- A 1.8mm thick chassis for increased structural integrity.
- A solar-powered LED that requires no manual battery changes.
- A sustainable bait-only system that avoids the need for chemical pesticides.
If you find that your environment is prone to heavy rain that dilutes your bait, you may want to look at the Rescue! proprietary refills which are designed for more specialized trap hardware.
