Plum Moth Traps and Refills Pheromone Traps

The major cause of maggot damage to plums and gages is the caterpillar of the plum fruit moth. This plum fruit moth trap uses the 'Pheromone' scent of the female moth to attract and catch male moths.

Keep your plum trees maggot free with the plum moth pheromone trap, a simple and effective way to reduce fruit damage caused by plum moths.

• The pheromone lure attracts in male plum moths, stopping them from mating.
• Helps prevent maggots, disrupting the life cycle of the plum moth.
• Just hang the trap in your tree and replace the lure after 5 weeks.
• Pesticide-free and safe for beneficial insects.

How It Works:

1. The pheromone lure attracts male plum moths to the trap.
2. The sticky surface inside traps the moths.
3. This reduces the number of male moths and therefore reduces the number of fertilised female moths.

The trap should be placed in the garden at the end of May or after petal drop. If the spring weather is exceptionally warm, or in sheltered urban gardens, it may be an advantage to install the trap in mid May.

In the garden one trap should monitor up to 3 average size trees. It should be hung at around head height on the windward side of the tree (or group of trees).

The trap contains everything you need for a year and the refill allows for the use of the trap for a second year.
