Apple moth pheromone trap

Catching apple moth butterflies with pheromone traps is very suitable for home gardens, where it is not recommended to use or use as few insecticides as possible. 1 trap per 1 apple tree. The caterpillars of the apple moth mine narrow twisting passages inside the apple, extending to the core. The harvest becomes unusable: the pulp of the apple becomes woody and bitter, it is not amenable to eating and does not give juice. In the package: 1 plastic trap, 2 pheromone capsules, 2 glued adhesive bases, 2 fasteners.

Hyponomeuta malinella

Manual

Using 2-3 pheromone traps for apple moths, you can detect the presence of this pest in your garden and evaluate its abundance with the help of trapping traps, to decide on the need for chemical control. Using traps in larger numbers (one for each adult tree), by trying to get apple moth butterflies out, you can reduce the number of this pest in the garden (the so-called method of mass harvesting). A pheromone trap is a small plastic house in which an inner bottom with non-drying glue is placed and a capsule impregnated with a pheromone, a special fragrance, is placed. The trap is hung horizontally on the outer branch of the south or west side of the tree so that it is hidden from the direct rays of the sun.
