Description
Picking plums with maggots inside and brown tunnels through the flesh? Plum moth larvae burrow into the fruit while it's developing on the tree, contaminating the stone and causing early drop. This pheromone trap hangs in your plum, damson or gage trees to catch male moths before they mate, reducing the population that produces the next generation of larvae.
Plum moths are one of the most destructive pests in orchards and gardens growing stone fruit. Adult moths lay eggs on fruit and leaves, and when larvae hatch, they tunnel straight into the flesh to reach the stone, leaving contaminated fruit and spoiled crops. The trap uses pheromone to attract male plum moths through six entry holes onto a glue-covered surface where they stick. By catching males during the active season, you reduce breeding and protect your fruit.
The plastic outer cover protects birds from the glue and prevents leaves sticking to the trap surface. It's selective—only plum moths are attracted, leaving bees, bumblebees and other pollinators unaffected. Hang the trap in your trees from early May through the end of August to target both the first generation and the second generation that emerges in summer. Non-toxic and weather-resistant, it works reliably in sun and rain throughout the growing season.
