Box Tree Caterpillar Moth Pheromone Trap & 2 LuresCydalima perspectalis

Box Tree Moth Caterpillars have become a growing problem for gardens in the UK. Our pheromone traps help to catch and kill the adult male moths. By catching males, mating and egg laying can be reduced and populations monitored for additional control measures. Each trap is supplied with two pheromone lures, each lure is active for a minimum of 6 weeks. Although there are lures marketed to last all season, trials carried out by Dragonfli and the RHS at Hyde Hall gardens comparing box tree pheromone lure types showed the long life version caught far fewer moths than the standard lures, so in our opinion it is better to use standard box tree pheromone lures and replace about every six weeks to get maximum catch of the male box tree moths. It is also good practice to remove caught moths every six weeks. The trap itself can be used for many years and replacement lures can be purchased for additional coverage. If caterpillars develop a number of controls can be used together with pheromone traps to attack each part of the life cycle.
