Malaise Trap with complete installation set
Tent pegs, guy ropes, and support poles required for trap installation are included in the package. The price is inclusive of all accessories that are required for the installation of malaise trap
Malaise traps are widely used in biodiversity surveys because they efficiently trap a wide range of flying insects. One of the main complaints about the Malaise trap, though, is its cost, especially compared to other trapping tools.
This economical Malaise trap is the result of quality sewing work. Its black Polyester no-see-um fabric (96 x 26 mesh/square inch) catches minute insects, including parasitic wasps. The interception area (center panel) of our Malaise trap is 165 by 110 cm (5.4 ft by 3.6 ft). If you place trays with killing agents underneath this interceptor, it also functions as a flight interception trap (FIT) or window trap, sampling specimens (i.e. some beetles) that drop or fly down after hitting an obstruction.
Malaise Trap – Passive Insect Collection for Research and Surveillance
The Malaise trap, also known as a flight intercept trap, Townes trap, or tent trap, is an essential tool for passive collection of flying insects. Used globally in entomological research, biodiversity monitoring, and vector control studies, this trap captures a wide range of insects including flies, wasps, mosquitoes, and pollinators.
Constructed with lightweight mesh and designed to funnel insects into a collecting container, it provides efficient, unattended sampling over days or weeks in the field.
Key Features:
Non-intrusive passive design
Effective for a broad range of flying insect species
Easy to set up, transport, and maintain
Ideal for long-term monitoring and biodiversity studies
Compatible with ethanol-filled collection bottles or dry jars
Common Applications:
Insect population studies
Pollinator monitoring (bees, flies, wasps)
Disease vector surveillance (mosquitoes, biting flies)
Forest and agricultural ecosystem studies
Environmental and ecological impact assessments
