The Pest Wizard California Red Scale Trap Kit offers an effective, pesticide-free method for monitoring California red scale populations in citrus orchards and backyard fruit trees. Designed for sustainable and organic growing systems, this kit helps detect early pest activity so you can take timely action to protect your plants and maintain healthy yields. Scale males are attracted to the pheromone lure attached to the traps in this kit. When they land, they get stuck, die, and can no longer mate. For best results, hang the trap at shoulder height inside the host tree. To set up, peel the cover paper off at an angle—do this rapidly—and attach the lure. Lures remain effective for up to 30 days. Unopened lures should be stored in a cool place or freezer to preserve potency. Monitor traps weekly and replace components as needed throughout the active growing season.
