it's a trap for codling moth (Cydia pomonella), the most common caterpillar of apples and pears, and is suitable both for the capture and the monitoring of adult moths. This trap uses a synthetic replica of the scent produced by the female to attract the males into the trap where there is a support covered with glue to which they stick. The capture of male insects allows so to reduce the fecundation and the amount of the eggs that are laid.
the codling moth lays eggs from late September to March, so make sure the traps are hung on the trees during this period. One trap is effective to control/monitor 3 to 5 trees (within a radius of 15 meters). Replace the trap if full of insects or after 6 to 8 weeks of use.
