Protect Your Apple & Pear Trees Naturally
The Growing Success Apple Maggot Monitoring Trap is a pheromone-based solution designed to catch codling moths and prevent maggot damage to apple and pear trees. By attracting and trapping male moths, this pesticide-free system helps reduce egg-laying and future infestations, ensuring healthier fruit harvests.
Why Use Growing Success Apple Maggot Trap?
This trap is an effective way to monitor codling moth populations in your garden. By detecting the presence of male moths, it allows gardeners to assess infestation levels and decide whether further treatment is needed. It does not attract beneficial insects, making it a safe choice for organic gardening.
Where to Use
Ideal for use on apple and pear trees, the trap provides effective monitoring for up to three trees within a 12-metre radius. It helps protect orchards, home gardens, and allotments from damaging caterpillars that develop inside the fruit.
How to Use
Set up the trap in mid-May, as male moths begin flying and mating on warm nights. Unfold the sticky insert, open the pheromone lure sachet, and place the lure in the center of the sticky surface. Insert the trap into its housing and hang it at head height on the windward side of the tree. Inspect the trap regularly—if more than 12 moths are caught per week, apply a suitable insecticide. Replace the sticky insert and lure every six weeks for continued effectiveness. Remove the trap in early September and dispose of the used components responsibly.
When to Use
Deploy the trap from mid-May to late August when codling moth activity is highest. Regular monitoring helps prevent larvae from burrowing into fruit and causing damage.
Eco-Friendly & Refillable
This pesticide-free solution is suitable for organic gardening and does not harm beneficial insects. Refill packs are available, ensuring continued protection throughout the season.
