Codling Moth Trap: Prevent Maggot Damage to Apples and Pears
The primary cause of maggot damage to apples and pears is the caterpillar of the Codling Moth. The Codling Moth Trap, also known as an apple moth pheromone trap, is an efficient and easy way to manage codling moth populations and protect your fruit trees from damage.
Key Features of the Codling Moth Trap
- Utilises a pheromone lure to attract male codling moths, preventing them from mating and reducing infestations.
- Prevents maggot damage to apples and pears, ensuring healthy fruit growth.
- Simply hang the codling moth trap in your tree and replace the lure after 5 weeks for continuous protection throughout the season.
- Pesticide-free, making it safe for beneficial insects and ideal for organic gardening.
How the Codling Moth Trap Works
- The pheromone lure attracts male moths into the trap.
- The sticky surface inside the trap captures the moths, effectively breaking their life cycle.
- Fewer male moths result in less fertilised females, reducing the population of codling moths.
Trap Coverage and Installation
One Codling Moth Trap can cover up to 5 average-sized trees within a 15-metre (50 feet) radius. Hang the trap at head height on the windward side of the tree or group of trees for best results.
