The Green Revolution Rhinoceros Beetle Trap & Lure is a complete pheromone-based pest control kit designed to protect coconut, date palm, oil palm, and arecanut plantations from rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) attack. The kit includes a high-efficiency bucket trap, a 99% pure pheromone lure, and a free Koko Activator that boosts beetle attraction. This rhinoceros beetle trap works by releasing a species-specific aggregation pheromone that draws adult beetles into the bucket, where they fall in and cannot escape. Each unit covers a wide field radius, making it a safe, chemical-free, and farmer-friendly choice for organic plantation owners battling beetle infestations year after year.
Key Features and Benefits:
Strong Lure: This rhinoceros beetle trap uses a 99% pure aggregation pheromone that closely mimics natural beetle signals, drawing more pests than ordinary lures.
Free Koko Activator: Every rhinoceros beetle trap pack includes a free liquid activator that boosts lure performance and increases catch rates in heavy-infestation fields.
Long Lasting: Once installed, the pheromone trap remains active for 90 to 120 days, covering one full season of palm protection without lure replacement.
High-Capacity Bucket Design: The bucket trap for the rhinoceros beetle is built to hold a large number of trapped beetles between cleaning cycles.
Wide Host Coverage: The Green Revolution rhinoceros beetle trap protects coconut, date palm, oil palm, and arecanut plantations from beetle feeding damage.
Chemical-Free Pest Control: The trap is non-toxic and species-specific, making it safe for IPM and organic farming programs.
Easy Installation: A single farmer can mount the trap on a palm tree or wooden stake in under 5 minutes, with no special tools required.

How to Assemble:
Open this rhinoceros beetle trap pack and lay out all parts: bucket trap with lid, pheromone lure pouch, and Koko Activator bottle.
Wear clean cotton or rubber gloves before handling the lure, since the human scent on bare hands sharply reduces pheromone power.
Check that the bucket trap for rhinoceros beetle has 4 to 6 entry holes near the top rim for adult beetles to crawl in.
Place the pheromone lure pouch inside the upper basket section of the trap, secured with the supplied hook or string.
Pour the Koko Activator liquid into the bottom of the bucket as per the dosage on the bottle label.
Tie this rhinoceros beetle trap securely to a coconut tree trunk, palm tree, or wooden stake at a height of 4 to 6 feet above the ground.
Space multiple traps 25 to 30 metres apart, using 4 per acre for monitoring or 6 to 8 per acre for mass trapping during heavy infestation.
Check the trap weekly, empty the dead beetles into a sealed bag, and replace the pheromone lure every 3 to 4 months for steady catching power.
Safety Instructions:
Always wear clean gloves when handling the pheromone lure, as skin oils and human scent reduce this rhinoceros beetle trap's catching power.
Keep the trap and lure out of the reach of children, pets, and farm animals; the chemicals can irritate the skin on contact or cause harm if swallowed.
Avoid placing the bucket trap for rhinoceros beetle near drinking water sources or livestock feeding areas to prevent accidental contamination.
Do not store the pheromone lure alongside chemical pesticides, fungicides, or strong-smelling agro-inputs, as cross-contamination weakens the lure.
Wash your hands well with soap and water after handling this rhinoceros beetle trap, lure, or activator liquid.
Dispose of expired pheromone lures and empty activator bottles through proper plastic recycling channels — never burn or bury in farmland.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1. How does the Koko Activator help this rhinoceros beetle trap work better?
The Koko Activator is a liquid additive poured into the bottom of the bucket. It releases a complementary scent that works together with the pheromone lure, drawing in beetles from a wider radius and trapping them more efficiently.
Q2. How many bucket traps for rhinoceros beetle units do I need per acre?
For monitoring beetle populations, install 4 bucket traps for rhinoceros beetle units per acre, spaced 25 to 30 metres apart. For mass trapping during heavy infestation, increase the count to 6 or 8 traps per acre for full field coverage.
Q3. How often should I replace the pheromone lure in this Rhinoceros beetle trap?
The pheromone lure inside the trap has a field life of 90 to 120 days, depending on local weather. Replace the lure every 3 to 4 months to maintain catching power, even if the trap still looks full of dead beetles.
Q4. At what height should this Rhinoceros beetle trap be installed?
Hang the Rhinoceros beetle trap at 4 to 6 feet above the ground for best results. This height matches the natural flight range of adult Oryctes rhinoceros beetles searching for coconut and palm trees in the surrounding area.
Q5. Is this Rhinoceros beetle trap safe for organic and IPM farming?
Yes, this Rhinoceros beetle trap is fully safe for organic and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. The pheromone lure is species-specific and non-toxic, and the activator additive contains no chemical pesticide that could harm beneficial insects.
