Growing Success Apple Maggot Monitoring Trap is ideal for the monitoring of moth infestation. The Pheromone-based trap collects moths and prevents damage to apple trees as well as pear trees. It also allows you to treat the problem with a suitable insecticide if necessary.
WHEN TO USE:
Male moths fly and mate on warm nights from mid-May to the end of July. Place the trap in the garden in mid-May.
HOW TO USE:
- Unfold the sticky insert, open the sachet and place the monitoring lure in the middle of the sticky trap.
- Put the insert in the trap, sticky side up.
- Hang the trap at head height on the windward side of the tree. The trap will monitor moths for five average size trees up to 12 metres apart.
- Inspect the traps regularly. If more than 12 moths are trapped per week, treat with a suitable insecticide.
- Replace sticky glue insert and monitoring lure after 6 weeks.
