it's a trap for box moth (Cydalima perspectalis), whose larvae devour in a short time the box leaves which become ochre yellow, leading to a quick poor state of health of the plant. This trap is suitable to monitor adult moths, uses a synthetic replica of the scent produced by the female to attract the males into the trap where they stick to the support covered with glue. The capture of male insects allows so to reduce the fecundation and the amount of the eggs that are laid.
double use, hanging: remove the siliconed paper which protects the layer of glue on both sides, position the pheromone in the provided slot, insert the wire into the hole and hang the trap. Inserted in the soil: remove the siliconed paper, position the pheromone in the provided slot and insert the trap in the soil with the help of the wooden stick included in the packing, after threading it through the two holes. It is advised to install the traps within late March until November, since the larvae winter inside the cocoons and come out at the beginning of spring. In late March or early April the larvae turn into butterflies. One trap is effective within a radius of 15 metres. Replace the trap if full of insects or after 6 to 8 weeks of use.
