Details
Use this Box Tree Moth Trap to trap the box tree moths between April and September. Box Tree Moth overwinters as a caterpillars, hidden between box leaves that it has spun together with silk before emerging in the Spring to mate and lay eggs. There can be up to 3 generations of moths per year, so this means moths can be present from April until September. Use this funnel trap and lure to trap the moths and protect your Box plants for the ENTIRE season.
Use Box Tree Moth Trap to protect your box plants if you know there are moths in the area or position then to monitor moth activity in your area. Adult Box Tree Moths has up to a 4cm wingspan and it usually white wings with a brown border around the wings, although the moths can sometimes be completely brown. This Box Tree Moth Trap uses a pheromone lure to attract the male moths and trap them - without the males, any eggs laid will be infertile leading to a reduction in the population. Use this trap between April and September - use 1 trap per 0.5 acre (10,000 sqm) and position them close to where the box plants are growing and hung at a height of 1.5 -2m above the ground. Each trap is supplied with a sachet of pheromone lure, which is added to the top of the trap and will attract moths for an ENTIRE season. 5cm of water is then added to the trap and then as the moths are attracted by the lure they are caught in the funnel trap and are unable to escape. The trap should be emptied weekly. The pheromone lure is specific to the box tree moth, so other species will not be attracted.

Excellent customer service and fast delivery. Recently purchased Box tree moth traps. Box hedging had been decimated in a couple of weeks before we realised the cause. Purchased Xantari and traps. Want sure they worked at first but now captured male moths in all traps!

So glad to have discovered your company with so many excellent products for gardening in an environmentally sensitive way. The nematodes for the control of Box Tree Moth caterpillar are really working (as opposed to anything chemical I have tried previously!) and the pheromone trap is collecting male moths. Excellent service, great speed of delivery, clear instructions for use of products.
