Hi and thanks for visiting our MagicTrap page which will explain everything you need to know about preparing your trap for the season ahead. If you’re completely new to MagicTrap, you can get in touch and claim your member discount code via the details further down the page.

MagicTrap. The digital yellow trap for oilseed rape.
MagicTrap is a fully automated digital yellow water trap, providing continuously updated information on pest pressure straight to your smartphone. It autonomously detects, categorises and counts a range of insects, ensuring you never miss a pest migration event.
Identify pests and take timely action.
Nothing escapes its gaze. The MagicTrap autonomously monitors your field and lets you know as soon as action is required.
Data directly from your yellow trap. Live from the field.
If there is a high influx of pests, your MagicTrap notifies you automatically. You receive a push notification directly on your smartphone and can view the analysis anytime.
Automatic analysis.
All the images you receive from your MagicTrap are automatically analysed using artificial intelligence. So you know immediately how many flea beetle, weevil and pollen beetle are in your trap - without having to count them by hand!
Images, identification and analysis all on your smartphone
MagicTrap's high-resolution camera takes images of the trap's contents at regular intervals and sends them to your mobile phone. The data received is analysed by machine learning and made available to you in the MagicScout app on your phone.
