The Codling Moth Trap is designed to reduce codling moth populations in your fruit trees, helping prevent damage to apples, pears, and other fruits. By targeting male moths with a pheromone lure, this trap disrupts the breeding cycle, safeguarding your crops and ensuring a healthier harvest.

When to Use

  • One trap can monitor up to five average-sized trees within a range of 15 metres (50 feet)
  • Optimal Timing: Codling moths typically fly and mate on warm nights from late May to the end of July.
  • Early Placement: In sheltered gardens or warmer springs, consider hanging the trap in early May.
  • Key Indicators: If in doubt, hang the trap when the petals on your fruit trees begin to fall.

Managing High Infestations

If you catch more than 15 moths in a week, this indicates a high infestation level:

  • Apply a suitable treatment a week after noticing increased activity.
  • If another 15 or more moths are caught, repeat the treatment.

End of Season Care

  • Remove the trap by early September.
  • Dispose of the lure and sticky insert
  • Clean the trap and store it for future use.
  • Refill kits are available to reuse the trap in the following season.

Benefits of the Codling Moth Trap

  • Reduces moth populations, minimising fruit damage.
  • Clean and use for multiple seasons of use.
  • Helps you track moth activity and adjust pest control methods accordingly.

With the Codling Moth Trap, you can stay on top of codling moth activity, ensuring your fruit trees remain healthy and productive throughout the growing season. Refill kits make it easy to reuse and continue protecting your crops year after year.

How To Use

When to use:

In most seasons moths fly and mate on warm nights from Late May until the end of July. The trap should be placed in the garden soon after the middle of May. If spring weather is exceptionally warm, or in sheltered urban gardens, it may be an advantage to install the trap by early May. If in doubt, hang the trap after the petals begin to fall.

Very occasionally the moth activity will continue longer and a third lure and sticky base will be needed.

The lure will last for 2 as long as it is unopened.

Instructions for use:

Assemble the trap. Place sticky insert sticky side up in the base of the trap. The pheromone lure (which looks like a hollow cone of soft rubber) should be removed from the foil sachet and laid in the centre of the sticky insert. Ensure that the end flaps are secured.

Note: The lure will release scent from when the sachet is opened - do not open sachet until the lure is needed.

In a garden one trap should monitor up to 5 average size trees with a range of 15 metres (50 feet) of the trap. It should be hung at around head height on the windward side of the tree (or group of trees).

After 5 Weeks - replace the sticky insert and lure. Inspect the trap regularly - the Codling Moth is small (about 8mm or 1/3rd inch long) dark coloured and rests with its wings folded to form a triangular shape.

If you are catching more than 15 moths per week the infestation is high and a suitable spray should be applied a week later. Continue monitoring and if again 15 or more moths are caught repeat the treatment.

Remove the trap by the beginning of September and dispose of the lure and sticky insert. The trap should be cleaned and stored. Refill Kits are available allowing the trap to be used for a second season.
