Hello. I am wondering about the same thing. I bought pre-filled bait lamina sticks fra Terra Protecta with Werner Kratz in Germany last year, but now they do now respond on email and I do not find their webside anymore.

If anyone know what have happend or where to order, I would also be grateful.

Kind regards Reidun Pommeresche

Dear colleagues,

As far as I know, Terra Protecta was the only company that produced bait-lamina sticks. It seems like they are no longer operational. However, bait-lamina sticks can be easily manufactured using a 3D printer. It’s really simple! It’s even easier to fill the strips with bait yourself. We have successfully used 3D printing in our work to produce modified bait-lamina sticks. This modification of the bait-lamina test allows us to differentiate the feeding activity of macrofauna and mesofauna.

You can find more information in our article titled “Modification of the bait-lamina test to estimate soil macrofauna and mesofauna feeding activity”

In the Supplementary Materials for the article, there is a file with a strip model for 3D printing of the modified sticks. If you prefer to use standard bait sticks, a similar model can be created for them as well.

Best regards, Evgenii Vorobeichik
