How to Use
The trap should be used when adult moths are expected to be active, from April until October. It should be sited where box trees and bushes are growing.
- To prevent trapped moths from escaping, pour 5 cm of water and a drop of detergent into the trap's clear base.
- Open the sachet containing the pheromone lure and place it in the cage at the top of the trap. The pheromone lure should be replaced every six weeks.
- Hang the trap 1.5 – 2.0 meters above the ground.
- Check the trap weekly. Empty and replace the water.
- At the end of the season, dispose of used lures and store the trap away from light and frost for future use.
- New pheromone lures can be purchased to use with existing traps.
Where there are serious or persistent infestations, use the trap alongside other control measures for best results.
