The box tree moth is a pest of box trees as well as other plant species in the buxaceae and some celastraceae species. Box trees are often found in homes and hotel grounds, historical gardens and churches. The larvae overwinter in cocoons spun between its hosts leaves then emerge in spring. High numbers can cause complete defoliation and economic loss. This pack contains one reusable funnel trap and pheromone lures. Our pheromone lures will help to attract the adult male moths. As a result of catching the males, mating and egg laying can be reduced and populations monitored for additional control measures. Place the traps when adults are active, from April to October. Each pack comes with 3 pheromone lures, each lure is active for 4 to 6 weeks. Hang the traps about 1-1.5m above ground, so that there is an air flow around the trap, using a trap density of one per 250m2. Add approximately 5cm of water with a drop of detergent into the trap bucket. Replace the pheromone lures after 6 weeks. Empty the traps weekly to avoid the trap filling with dead insects that can repel other moths.
