Pheromone monitoring helps detect infestations early, enabling timely action and reducing the need for pesticides that could affect products or operations.

Seamless integration

Our traps are reliable, preventive monitoring solutions that fit seamlessly into your existing warehouse and production processes.

Accurate monitoring

Our solutions don’t just indicate whether there is an infestation, they can help determine its severity and the efficacy of your measures to combat it.

Capabilities

Diverse use cases

  • Storage facilities: Place traps at defined intervals to detect early signs of infestation and protect high-value stock, wherever it is: containers, warehouses, processing or shipping areas. 
  • Production areas: Install traps as part of routine quality assurance to monitor pest levels without stopping operations. 
  • Logistics & transport: Check pest activity inside containers upon arrival to identify risks before materials enter your facility, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

Expertise

A preventive approach to pest control

Unlike reactive pest control measures, Lasiotrap and Contrap enable early detection and continuous monitoring. 

This helps you prevent damage rather than responding to infestations after they occur. As part of Körber Technologies, these solutions are developed specifically for the tobacco and nicotine industry to address real-world storage, production, and logistics challenges. 

Our pesticide-free, pheromone-based design minimizes operational risk, avoids contamination, and supports safe operations.
