About us
Leszek Ćwikliński, the founder of maintenance-free traps.
We produce innovative maintenance-free traps and pheromones for forest insects. The history of our company dates back to 2002, when the first prototype of a device compatible with the Theysohn trap for the unattended catching of the bark beetle was created. Throughout all these years of the company’s activity, the ideas that have been created have been turned into products aimed at protecting forests from forest insects.
The launch of production was preceded by nearly 10 years of research. The traps tested in the forests turned out to be so sensational that our idea was coped with an international patent application. Nowadays, over 100,000 pheromone traps are used to catch harmful insects in Poland annually. Inspection of pheromone traps in forests is extremely laborious and time-consuming due to long distances, sometimes also unfavourable terrain and the required frequency of service.
Our maintenance-free traps require little attention. As a result, they contribute to a significant reduction of the financial outlay associated with the progressively higher cost of man-hours (up to 80% less).
OUR HISTORY
2002 r
The first prototype of a device compatible with the Theysohn trap for unattended capture of the bark beetle was created.
2003 r
We obtained an international patent application for the entire EU and for countries such as the United States, Canada, Japan and China.
2007 r
We obtained patent protection for the liquid used in the traps
2009 r
After several years of research a new generation trap was developed – “Slit” maintenance-free trap (the photo shows the prototype). At the same time, the research on the composition of the fluid used in our traps was conducted. It allowed to develop its optimal formulation.
2010 r
The beginning of work on the pheromone for attracting the Spruce Bark Beetle.
2011 r
Testing of a plastic ampoule for releasing the attractant in a controlled manner was underway.
2013-16 r
The research on the composition of the pheromone for attracting the Spruce Bark Beetles was carried out.
