Chandran opined that solar light trap can be used for cost-effective pest control. The device consists of a bowl on a tripod, an LED bulb and a solar panel. It functions automatically with the help of solar power. The LED bulb will light from 6.30 pm to 9.30 pm and its blue light will attract the insects.
