The Raspberry Beetle Trap is designed to protect your raspberry, blackberry, and loganberry crops from the destructive raspberry beetle (Byturus tomentosus).
How to identify the adult raspberry beetle
The adult beetle is small, about 4 mm long, and dark brown in colour, making it difficult to spot. It spends the winter in the soil and emerges between April and early June.
How does the raspberry beetle damage your fruit?
The beetle initially feeds on leaves, flower buds, and pollen. It then lays up to 120 eggs in individual flowers. Once the larvae hatch, they burrow into the developing fruit, often hiding inside the raspberries by the time they are ready to be picked.
