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. Remove trap in early September and dispose of the sticky insert and monitoring lure.
