How it works:

The pheromone attracts the male moth into the trap where they cannot escape. Stopping the males from fertilising the females significantly reduces egg laying. The pheromone lures included in this kit are specific to this species of moth. 1 trap should be enough for an average size garden. For larger gardens use additional traps.

Best time to use the trap:

Adults are present between April to October (climate dependent) so this is the optimum time to use the trap. There are several generations of this pest so the trap must be in place for the whole season.

Trap Positioning:

Position at a height of around 1.5m – 2m hung either from box trees or a suitable structure such as a post. If traps are placed in trees, ensure that the entrances remain unblocked and free from leaves.

Trap Maintenance:

Add water to a depth of 3cm with a small dash of washing-up liquid into the bucket of the trap. Check the traps regularly, at least twice a week. Top up the liquid in the bucket to the 3cm depth as and when required. Lures should be changed every 5 weeks to achieve optimum results.

Full instructions are provided inside.

Storage for lures:

Store lures in a cool place away from direct sunlight and heat and do not open until ready to use. Always store lures sealed in original packaging and do not open them until you need to use them. They will last for 1 year when unopened or freezing them will last 2 years.
