Vitax Apple Maggot Monitoring Trap Protects 3–5 Trees 200g

The Vitax Apple Maggot Monitoring Trap is an effective solution for protecting apple and pear crops from damage caused by the codling moth. These pests can cause severe damage to your fruit by laying eggs on leaves and fruit, leading to caterpillars that burrow into the fruitlets and feed on them in early summer. This trap utilizes a pheromone lure to attract and capture male moths, allowing gardeners to monitor the moth population and take necessary action with an appropriate insecticide. The trap is ideal for organic gardeners looking to control pest damage naturally.
The trap can cover 3 to 5 trees within a 12-meter radius, making it an excellent choice for orchards or home gardens with multiple fruit trees. The product is easy to use, comes with a corrugated trap, and includes a separate refill pack for additional pheromone lures. The trap works best from mid-May to the end of July, when male moths are most active.

Pheromone-Based Moth Attraction for Effective Monitoring:

The Vitax Apple Maggot Monitoring Trap utilizes a powerful pheromone lure to attract male codling moths, which are the primary cause of damage to apples and pears. This lure mimics the scent of a female moth, effectively drawing the males into the trap, allowing gardeners to monitor the pest population. This method of tracking moth activity ensures that you can assess when intervention is needed, helping prevent fruit damage before it occurs.

Wide Coverage for Multiple Trees:

Each trap is designed to cover a range of 3 to 5 trees with a radius of up to 12 meters, making it an ideal solution for larger gardens or orchards. This extensive coverage helps protect multiple fruit-bearing trees with a single trap, maximizing the efficiency of your pest control efforts and ensuring that your entire orchard or garden is well-monitored without the need for numerous separate traps.

Easy-to-Use, Refillable Design:

The trap is incredibly simple to set up and use. It features a corrugated trap design, which helps increase the surface area for trapping moths, and a sticky insert that ensures the moths stay trapped once they enter. The included refillable pheromone lure makes it easy to reuse the trap throughout the season, reducing waste and offering a long-term solution for monitoring and managing moth populations effectively.

Ideal for Organic Gardening and Sustainable Practices:

Designed for gardeners who prioritize sustainable and organic practices, the Vitax Apple Maggot Monitoring Trap provides a chemical-free way to monitor and manage codling moth infestations. By attracting male moths and allowing gardeners to monitor their activity, this trap helps reduce the need for excessive pesticide use, supporting healthier, organic fruit production while minimizing the environmental impact of chemical interventions.
