FAQ's: Bags for pine processionary caterpillar trap
How to place the bags in the pine processionary caterpillar trap?
General tips on how to place the bags in the trap:
- Read the trap instructions carefully before use to make sure you understand how it works and how it should be handled.
- Wear suitable long-sleeved clothing, pants, gloves, goggles, and a protective mask to avoid contact with any caterpillars found on the tree.
- Secure the bag to the trap using zip ties around the collar.
- Add soil from the vicinity of the tree into the trap bag. This soil allows the caterpillars to be fooled and they will bury themselves inside the bag in the same way they would after coming down from the trunk.
- If you have any questions or are not sure how to set the trap correctly, consult the manufacturer's instructions or seek the help of a pest control professional.

For safe disposal of pine processionary caterpillar trap bags, the following steps should be followed:

- Select a time of day when the larvae are least active, such as early morning or late afternoon.
- Use shears or a garden pruner to cut the retaining ties of the trap collar bags.
- Place the trap out of the reach of people and animals.
- Do not remove the bags until 3 weeks after the last captures.
- Do not throw the collecting bags from the traps onto public roads.
- If you want to empty the contents of the trap bags, it must be done in a deep hole of about 30cm and then buried and compacted strongly to prevent caterpillars from coming out.
- It is also possible to boil the catch bag with its contents for 10 minutes. Once cooled, it can be disposed of.
- Thoroughly wash your hands and any clothing or equipment used after the task.
