Funnel trap is a type of trap used to collect a wide range of insect pest. Funnel trap usually contains pheromone lure to which lure is suspended in the middle of the trap. These traps are used for monitoring and also for controlling insect population by mass trapping technique.

How it works: Pheromones are chemicals used by insect to communicate with each other. Insects send these chemical signals to attract males for mate. So pheromones are released from the lure placed inside the trap and attract the opposite sex of the same insect species. The attracted insects get trapped inside and are killed in the trap.

Benefits:
