Suitable for use in top fruit orchards where codling moth (Cydia pomonella) is a potential pest.

The trap is designed to monitor adult moth activity which then allows improved application timing of plant protection products. The codling moth trap should be setup from the beginning of May onwards and used until harvest to cover the codling moth flying period. In the UK, codling moth have 1 to 1.5 generations per year depending on location and weather.

It is recommended that 1 trap is used per 3 hectares of uniform orchard. In ununiform orchards higher densities may be required.

The trap should be hung from a branch within the crop at head height to allow easy access.

Traps should be checked at least once or twice a week and number of trapped moths recorded. After recording trapped numbers during scouting, trapped moths should be removed from sticky insert to improve future catches and reduce chance of miscounting in following assessments.

Replace the lure and sticky insert after 6 weeks.

Do not open foil sachet until you want to use the pheromone lure. Until use, store unopened sticky inserts and pheromone lures in a cool dry location.

Traps can be used over several years with the addition of fresh replacement pheromones.
