6. Conclusion and Suggestion
1. This solar energy-based insect pest trap research chose general materials to be adapted for pest trapping such
as electronic mosquito trap and clear acrylic board. Then simple design was created for easily teach to farmers.
2. The Solar Energy-Based Insect Pest Trap can trap many pests such as Cocinellidae, Nephotettix nigropictrs,
Adult cotton leaf worm, Leaf minor fly, Rhinoceros beetle, and Brontispa longissima Gestro. They are general pests
in farm around Thailand but small number can be destroyed because there was only one side of wire mesh.
3. LED bulbs with 12 volts were safer to use more than fluorescent bulbs with 220 volts. If the electrical short or
leakage current were happened, the users would not get seriously hurt.
4. This trap did not appropriate for tall and leafy trees because the sunlight could not shine on the trap, the solar
cells could not produce electric energy to battery.
5. The trap should be improved for lighter scattering as 360 degrees from the trap. The ways into LED should be
provide more for more insects and effectively trap.
