Abstract
The present invention relates to the develop-
ment of a device for capturing flying insects, in particular
the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae), for biological control
of this olive grove pest.
[0002] This device is autonomous and active in oper-
ation and comprises a substantially cylindrically shaped
outer body, as well as a fan and an insect-trapping mech-
anism both placed inside such outer body, whereby the
insect-trapping mechanism is composed of an electro-
cuting device (6) and specific volatile compounds for at-
tracting of insects.
[0003] The present invention thus relates to the field
of agronomy, phytosanitary protection and biological
control of olive grove pests.
