So simple but very effective

My Box Tree Moth Trap has collected 23 Box Tree Moths in 4 nights. It seemed so simple when it arrived that I couldn’t believe it would work, but it is very successful. I now have three traps in various parts of the garden.
While I am very sad to kill so many moths, they are wreaking havoc with my box balls which I have tended over the last ten years and I would be heart-broken to loose them.
I am now optimistic that your traps may help to save them.

Moth killer

I had two large mature box bushes that were decimated by box tree moths, to the extent I thought they were dead. Tried the box moth trap, which started capturing the moths within a week, and six weeks later the bushes are pristine again.

FAQ

about the product

The Box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis) is a devastating pest of box plants (Boxus spp.). Caterpillar feed on the leaves, which can result in complete defoliation and die back of the plant.

1. Add 5 cm of water and a drop of detergent to the base
2. Open the pheromone lure sachet and place it in the cage at the top.
3. Hang the trap 1.5 – 2.0 meters above the ground.
4. Replace the lure every 6 weeks (refills available).
5. Check the trap regularly for moths. Empty and replace the water.

When adult moths are flying, April to October.

How does a box tree moth trap work?

The lure inside emits the female box tree moth pheromone, which attracts the male. The male gets caught in the trap and dies. This prevents breeding and egg laying, and in turn the hatching of more caterpillars.
