The Chipku Mini Solar Insect Trap is a smart pest control tool for farmers who want to cut down on chemical sprays and protect their crops naturally. The mini solar trap charges all day in the sun and switches on by itself after sunset, when most crop pests come out to fly. The UV light pulls in moths, flies, and other night insects, which then drop into the collection tray below. This mini solar light trap covers half an acre of field on a single charge and runs for 4 to 5 hours every night. Mini solar trap works well in all crops — vegetables, fruits, flowers, and grain fields — and comes with a 6-month warranty.

How to Assemble:
Open the mini solar trap box and check that all parts are inside — the main trap body with solar panel on top, UV LED light unit, insect collection tray, mounting stand or pole, and the charging pin.
Pick a sunny open spot in the field where direct sunlight falls on the solar panel for at least 6 to 7 hours during the day, with no shade from trees or buildings.
Fix the mini solar light trap on a wooden or bamboo pole at a height of 4 to 5 feet above the crop canopy, so the UV light reaches a wide area in the field.
Attach the insect collection tray firmly under the UV light bulb of the mini fly trap, with the open side facing upward to catch falling pests.
Pour about half a litre of water into the collection tray and add 4 to 5 drops of edible oil on top; this stops the trapped insects from flying back out.
Turn the power switch to the on position so the mini solar trap can start charging during the day and auto-switch the UV light at dusk.
Leave the mini solar light trap on its stand for the first full day to charge the battery completely from morning till evening sunlight.
Empty the dead insects from the collection tray every 2 to 3 days, refill with fresh water and oil, and keep the solar panel surface clean for steady charging.
Care and Maintenance:
Wipe the solar panel surface clean every 4 to 5 days with a soft dry cloth to remove dust, bird droppings, and crop spray residue that block sunlight.
Empty the insect collection tray of the mini solar trap every 2 to 3 days, wash it with plain water, and refill with fresh water and 4 to 5 drops of edible oil.
Keep the mini solar light trap fully charged during the off-season by placing it in open sunlight for a full day once every 15 to 20 days, even when not in field use.
Avoid touching the UV LED bulb of the mini fly trap with bare fingers; oil from the skin shortens the bulb life, so use a soft cloth if cleaning is needed.
Bring the mini solar trap indoors during heavy rain, hailstorms, and dust storms, as the body is weather-resistant but not built for direct heavy weather exposure.
Store the mini solar light trap in a clean, dry shed during the off-season with the switch turned off, away from rats and other rodents that can chew the wires.
For long battery life, fully charge the mini solar trap once a month, even during storage, since deeply discharged lithium batteries lose holding power over time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1. What is included in the Chipku mini solar trap pack?
The Chipku mini solar trap pack comes with the main trap body that has the solar panel built on top, the UV LED light unit, an insect collection tray, a mounting pole or stand, and a charging pin for backup charging if needed. The pack is ready to install straight out of the box, with no extra wiring or tools needed for setup.
Q2. Can the mini fly trap work during cloudy weather or monsoon nights?
Yes, the mini solar trap still works in cloudy weather, but the nighttime run is shorter because the solar panel gets less sunlight during the day. During heavy monsoon, the mini solar light trap can be brought indoors at night and put back out on dry mornings. The UV light unit is weather-resistant but not fully waterproof, so protection during storms helps extend the working life.
Q3. Which crops and pests does the mini solar light trap work best on?
The mini solar light trap works well in vegetables, fruit crops, grain crops, cotton, and flowers. It catches whiteflies, jassids, aphids, thrips, pink bollworm moths, fall armyworm, fruit borer, leaf miner, and stem borer adults. The mini fly trap does not work on soil pests, sucking bugs hidden under leaves, or daytime-active insects.
Q4. What is covered under the 6-month warranty of the mini solar trap?
The 6-month warranty of the Chipku mini solar trap covers manufacturing defects in the solar panel, UV LED light, and the circuit board. The warranty does not cover damage from rough handling, physical breakage of the body, water entry during open rain, or normal battery wear over time. Always keep the original purchase invoice safe for any warranty claim.
Q5. How long does the battery inside the mini solar light last?
The lithium-ion battery inside the mini solar light trap lasts for around 2 to 3 years of regular nighttime use before it loses charging power. A fresh battery gives 4 to 5 hours of UV light per night after a full day of charging. The battery is replaceable, so the mini solar trap body can keep working for many more seasons with a fresh battery fitted by a local service shop.
