Agralan Plum fruit moth trap, An aid to plum maggot control
The major cause of maggot damage to plums and gages is the caterpillar of the Plum Fruit Moth
Control of this pest in the garden is very difficult using insecticides unless they are applied shortly after egg laying
The Plum Fruit Moth Trap uses the �Pheromone’ scent of the female moth to attract and catch male moths
This provides a warning as to if and when control measures are needed and does not attract beneficial insects
Important note: The lure will release scent from when the sachet is opened – do not open sachet until the lure is needed
After 5 weeks replace the sticky insert and lure, with the second set provided
In a garden one trap should monitor up to 5 average size trees
It should be hung at around head height on the windward side of the tree (or group of trees)
Inspect the trap regularly – the Plum Fruit Moth is small (about 6mm or 1/4 inch long) dark coloured and rests with its wings folded to form a triangular shape
If you are catching more than 50 moths per week the infestation is very high and a suitable spray should be applied a week later
Continue monitoring and if again 50 or more moths are caught repeat the treatment.
