Details of VespaCatch Select® - Selective Trap for Vespa orientalis and velutina
VespaCatch Select trap, for setting the entrance to the hornet you are after and making it easier for small insects to get out.
It combines 2 entrances adjustable from 7 to 11 mm, a grid over the bait and a container with escape holes. These parts work together: narrowing the entrance is not enough to filter every catch.
01 · SETTING
Choose the diameter by species and stage
For Vespa velutina, the manual gives 9 mm for foundresses and workers in spring and 8 mm for workers in summer and autumn. For Vespa orientalis it gives 10 mm. These are settings for the device; when to trap, and whether it is worth it, depends on hornet presence and the local protocol.
The dial goes down to 7 mm. Véto-pharma suggests trying that setting for workers and going back to 8 mm if nothing is caught. With the dial removed you are left with the 11 mm entrances, which are less selective: opening up further is not the automatic answer to an empty trap.
02 · ASSEMBLY
Keep the grid above the liquid
Fit the cone point-down and screw the containers together. The mix goes in the black reservoir; place the anti-drowning grid above it, without submerging it. Line up the entrances in the lid with those in the suspension tunnel before hanging the trap.
When the VespaCatch attractant is used, the manual prescribes 10 ml of attractant, 50 g of sugar and 200 ml of water per fill. That dose applies to that product. For another attractant, follow its label and check the liquid level.
03 · CHECKING
Upkeep does not end when you change the bait
The manufacturer recommends renewing its mix every three weeks. In between, check the level, the escape holes and the catch: the bait-renewal interval is not an interval for leaving the trap unattended. If it needs cleaning, the manufacturer recommends rinsing with water and avoiding soap. If it has caught nothing after a few days, review where it is placed.
It takes protein bait, though there is no required switch from sugar to protein in summer. With its VespaCatch attractant, the brand notes that effectiveness may drop below 15 °C; that is not a universal threshold for starting to trap.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
A trap that needs regular attention
Hook and suspension tunnel included; attractant sold separately. The brand allows for hanging it at 1.5–3 m or placing it next to the hives. Choose a spot where you can check it. The grid and the escape holes do not guarantee there will be no by-catch.
There may be live hornets inside. Do not open the container while they can escape or sting you; follow the manufacturer's emptying instructions. If hornet pressure is keeping the bees inside the hive, also consider entrance protection and the other measures in the apiary.

Head of Bee Research and Innovation at Véto-pharma
With VespaCatch Select, we were committed to providing beekeepers with an affordable solution for the selective capture of the Yellow-legged hornet. This is a reasonably priced trap that allows everyone to equip themselves to protect their hives or green spaces.
VespaCatch Select offers multiple levels of selectivity, thanks to an adjustable dial that allows you to adapt the size of the entry holes (from 7 to 11 mm).
For queen trapping in spring, set it to 9 mm. For worker trapping in autumn, adjust it to 8 mm, which prevents the capture of larger insects.
For smaller insects that may enter the trap, exit holes allow them to escape easily.
The liquid attractant is protected by a grid, preventing them from drowning.
We are proud to have developed this trap, which combines efficiency, selectivity, and affordability for all!
