Why it made the arsenal.
The INZECTO trap plays the same 'fake nursery' gambit with a twist: its patented coating means larvae that hatch inside never make it out alive. Fill it with water, hang it from a fence or tree at knee height, and it runs for weeks with almost zero upkeep. It earned an EPA registration and a following among people who want trap coverage without babysitting sticky cards. We slot it as a strong secondary trap — pair a couple of these with an AGO or BG-GAT for overlapping fields of fire.
+ Power-ups
- EPA-registered attract-and-kill design
- Very low maintenance — top up water occasionally
- Cheap enough to deploy several around a yard
- Durable; survives weather that would wreck a sticky board
− Drawbacks
- Uses a pesticide coating (contained, but not chemical-free)
- Effect is on the next generation — patience required
- Placement matters a lot; shade and low height or it underperforms
