Plum Maggot Monitoring Trap
Perfect for tackling plum, damson and gage damage from moths and maggots.
Each trap covers three to five trees, luring the male moths and enabling gardeners to access the trap and treat with a suitable insecticide. Each pack contains a corrugated trap with hanger and one pheromone lure. Male moths tend to fly on warm nights so it's best to use the trap from mid-May to the end of July.
Maggot damage in plums, damsons and gages is mainly caused by caterpillars of the plum fruit moth. Female moths lay eggs on the leaves and fruit which hatch after 10-14 days. The caterpillars then bore into the fruitlets and feed on the fruit in early summer.
Easy to use, simply unfold the sticky insert and place in the base of the trap, place the monitoring lure on the middle of the trap and hang from a tree.
