XLure Ready to Use (RTU) Combo 4 Diamond traps monitor for targeted stored product insects. Each trap is pre-baited with multiple pheromones to attract a variety of insects in these genera: Plodia, Ephestia, Lasioderma and Trogoderma. That includes Indianmeal moths, almond moths, raisin moths, tobacco moths, Mediterranean flour moths, cigarette beetles, warehouse beetles and khapra beetles.
Features and benefits
- XLure RTU traps are pre-baited, reducing the chance of trap contamination. Another benefit of pre-baited traps is less technician handling of the actual pheromones. Less handling reduces the chance of contamination of the trap. Nicotine from tobacco products, hand lotions, perfumes and even hand sanitizers can be transferred from the installer to the trap. These contaminants can cause insects to be repelled instead of attracted to the trap. The less handling, the less opportunity for contamination.
- XLure RTU traps go the distance. Because of the patented technology Pherogel, pheromones are directly loaded in the glue. Pherogel protects the pheromones from releasing too quickly, acting as the regulator to allow pheromones to release in to the environment at a steady consistent rate, regardless of temperature spikes. XLure R.T.U. Combo 4 traps attract target insects for 10 to 12 weeks.
- Safety feature reduces your liability: Each trap has a metal strip to prevent undetected entry into food production lines that utilize metal detection equipment.
- Recordkeeping and trap information on its lower panels keep you on track. The two lower panels of each trap have areas to enter installation and replacement dates and a table to record weekly insect counts. A listing of targeted insects attracted is also printed on lower panels for technicians and account auditors and inspectors.
About J.F. Oakes Sales & Marketing
As a salesman of termite and rodent control products for a major chemical manufacturer for 26 years, Jim Oakes worked closely with both industry distributors and pest control companies all over the southeastern U.S. Recognizing a need for product lines specifically designed for the pest control industry, Oakes founded J.F. Oakes Sales & Marketing in May 1989.
With his experience and knowledge of termites and treatments, the first lines Oakes introduced were drill bits and spray hoses. Sheffield Masonry Drill Bits were designed with an emphasis on using quality European steel for durability and a full selection of shanks, diameters and lengths commonly used by pest control companies. Chemtrol, now known as Chemoak, was designed with consideration to chemical resistance, safety factors, working pressures, flexibility and ease of use.
Nearly four decades later, the product lines of J.F. Oakes Sales & Marketing include not only equipment, but encompass a wide range of products, including:
- Advantage Flying Insect and Yellow Jacket Traps
- Pro-Pest Professional Lures for Rodents and Nuisance Wildlife
- XLure Pheromone Monitoring Traps
- Pro-Pest and Safestore brands
- Pro-Pest Pantry and Clothes Moth Traps
- Pro-Pest Crawling Insect Traps
J.F. Oakes Sales & Marketing sells its products through distributors in the U.S., Canada and internationally.
