How it works
Vitax Box Tree Moth Trap consists of a trap with 2 pheromone lures to attract the male box tree moths, monitoring and helping control this serious pest. The lure attracts male moths which then drop through the funnel into the trap. Minor infestations may be adequately controlled by preventing males from mating with female moths. For severe infestations the monitoring trap provides warning of infestation allowing timely control measures to be introduced.
Usage period
Box Tree Moth is generally active from mid-April to October, peaking between mid-July to the end of September. Lures should be replaced every 6 weeks, emptying and cleaning the trap of any dead insects or debris at the same time to ensure the trap can monitor and help protect throughout the season. There can be up to 3 generations of caterpillars during the season.
At the beginning of the season (mid to late April) before the first flight, hang or place the trap, ideally at a height of 1.5m (5ft), close to the box plants to attract and trap any male moths in the area and monitor the potential level of infestation.
