[0031] The inner sleeve 3 is in a top-closed cylinder structure, the upper end of the inner sleeve 3 is spacedly sleeved in the inner cavity of the outer sleeve 2 from the bottom opening end of the outer sleeve 2 to form a clamping cavity at the spacing position, and the lower end of the inner sleeve 3 is connected with the bottom of the outer sleeve 2; and a plurality of entrances 321 are formed in the side wall of the inner sleeve 3 and communicated with the clamping cavity.

[0032] The bait 4 is clamped in the clamping cavity.

[0033] The trapping device is pasted on the trapping base surface through the adhesive layer 1, is convenient to disassemble and assemble, the bait 4 is clamped in the clamping cavity between the inner sleeve 3 and the outer sleeve 2, the opening of the outer sleeve 2 is arranged downward, the bait 4 is convenient to take and place, rainwater and the like can be effectively blocked from entering the inside of the trapping device to wet the bait 4 and affect the attracting effect of the bait 4. The plurality of entrances 321 on the inner sleeve 3 can effectively enhance the smell diffusion of the bait, attract the solenopsis invicta to enter the inside of the trapping device through the entrances, and the plurality of entrances 321 can form a rough surface of the inner sleeve 3, facilitating the solenopsis invicta to climb.

[0034] Specifically, the adhesive layer 1 is double-sided adhesive, so that the outer sleeve 2 is firmly pasted on the trapping base surface such as ground, tree trunk or vertical wall surface, the use range is wide, and the disassembly and assembly are convenient.

[0035] Specifically, the outer sleeve 2 is made of transparent material to facilitate observation of the inside of the red imported fire ant trap and the feeding of the bait 4.

[0036] Specifically, the inner sleeve 3 includes a connecting cover 31 and an inner tube body 32. The connecting cover 31 is arranged on the bottom of the outer sleeve 2, and a mounting hole 311 is formed in the middle of the connecting cover 31. The inner tube body 32 is fixed at the lower end of the mounting hole 311, and the upper end is closed and arranged in the inner cavity of the outer sleeve 2 to form a clamping cavity. A plurality of inlets 321 are arranged on the side wall of the inner tube body 32.
