SwarmCatch

Use an empty preferably previously used hive with at least one old frame. The hive should have a bottom entrance. Attach the SwarmCatcher lure with a pushpin to one of the frames closer to the entrance. (There is a loop at the top of the lure.) Do not open or puncture the tube! The pheromone will naturally diffuse through the vial’s wall.

• Set up the bait hive between 3 and 10 feet (1 to 3 m) above the ground.
• Make sure the location is shaded which aides hive ventilation.
• Hives in the sun can be abandoned due to overheating.
• Hives with the entrance facing south have greater chance of getting occupied by a swarm.
• Make sure the hive is dry and free of other insect (ants, wax moth etc).

Store lures in a freezer until use. Unused lures can be put back in the freezer. Lures can be stored in a freezer for up to 3 years. Being out of the freezer during shipping will not affect the performance of the lure in any way.
