Agralan Apple Maggot "Codling Moth" Trap
Product Description
The Agralan Codling Moth Trap is an effective, pesticide-free solution for monitoring and controlling codling moth populations in your apple and pear trees. This eco-friendly trap uses natural pheromones to lure male codling moths, interrupting the breeding cycle and protecting your fruit from damage.
Features
- Natural Pheromone Technology: Uses synthetic sex attractants that mimic those produced by female moths
- Highly Specific: Only attracts codling moths, leaving beneficial insects unharmed
- Easy to Use: Simple to assemble and hang in fruit trees
- Long-Lasting: Each trap includes two pheromone lures, providing protection throughout the growing season
- Reusable: Trap body can be cleaned and reused for multiple seasons
- Environmentally Friendly: No chemicals, sprays or poisons
How It Works
The trap contains a specific pheromone that attracts male codling moths. Once inside, they become trapped on the sticky surface and cannot escape. By reducing the male moth population, fewer eggs are fertilized, significantly decreasing next season's codling moth numbers and protecting your fruit from their damaging larvae.
Contents
- 1 × Reusable delta trap with sticky insert
- 2 × Pheromone lures (each effective for approximately 6 weeks)
- 1 × Set of easy-to-follow instructions
Coverage & Application
One trap is generally sufficient for up to five fruit trees in a domestic garden. For larger orchards or severe infestations, use one trap for every 3-4 trees. Hang traps in trees in mid-May and maintain until at least the end of July, replacing the lure after approximately 5-6 weeks.
