In NA a standard killing agent in Malaise and pheromone traps is DDVP (Dichlorvos). Just a small piece (1 cubic cm) will probably last all season. It is usually dissolved into a hard plastic. It is a bit oily, so place it in a foil or plastic wrapper with minute pin holes to let the gas escape. Should kill insects within 30 minutes.


Thank's Tony. That is just the thing I am using. DDVP was the name :)
