Product Information
Full details
The Green Protect Codling Moth Trap is designed for home orchardists and gardeners looking to protect their apple and pear crops from infestation. Its primary benefit is the use of a targeted pheromone attractant to capture moths before they can lay eggs, effectively preventing the development of fruit-damaging worms and maggots. While it is a highly effective monitoring and suppression tool, please note that it is most successful when used as part of a broader integrated pest management strategy rather than as a standalone cure-all for severe, long-standing infestations.

FAQs
How many traps do I need for my garden?
For effective monitoring, one trap per tree is recommended for apple and pear trees.
Does this trap use harmful pesticides?
No, it uses pheromone-based attraction and physical glue capture, making it a non-toxic option for your garden.
When is the best time to hang the traps?
Hang them as soon as the blossoms fall or when temperatures consistently reach the range that triggers moth activity in your region.
How often should I replace the lure?
The pheromone lure and the trap efficiency last for up to 8 weeks before needing a refresh.
Will this trap catch beneficial insects?
The pheromone used is specific to Codling Moths, which minimizes the attraction of bees and other beneficial garden insects.
Troubleshooting
No moths are being caught in the trap
Verify that the trap is placed in a high-canopy area with good airflow; if the season is very early or late, moth activity may be naturally low.
Glueboard is covered in dust or debris
Reposition the trap to a more sheltered area of the tree canopy or replace the glueboard if the adhesive strength is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your trap, fold the cardboard housing into the provided shape, peel the protective layer off the glueboard, and place the pheromone lure in the center. Hang the trap in the canopy of your apple or pear tree, ensuring it is shielded from direct, harsh sunlight and heavy wind. The traps are compatible with all apple and pear varieties. Care is minimal: inspect the board weekly. If the surface becomes saturated with insects or covered in dust and debris, replace the glueboard to maintain peak trapping efficiency. Always dispose of used traps in standard household waste and wash your hands thoroughly after handling the pheromone lures.
