Product Information
Full details
The Topbuxus Pheromone Lure Refill is an essential maintenance component for gardeners managing Box Tree Caterpillar populations. Designed for individuals using the Topbuxus Moth Trap, these lures provide a highly effective method for monitoring and disrupting the breeding cycle of boxwood-damaging moths. While these lures are exceptionally targeted at the Box Tree Moth, they are only effective when used in conjunction with the dedicated trap system and require seasonal replacement to maintain potency.

FAQs
How many capsules come in a pack?
Each pack contains 2 pheromone capsules.
How long does one capsule last?
One capsule is designed to provide effective attraction for a single season.
Do these lures attract other insects?
No, the pheromone is specifically formulated to attract only the Box Tree Moth (Cydalima perspectalis).
Where should I hang the trap?
The trap should be placed near your boxwood plants, ideally in a spot that is accessible for monitoring but clear of dense foliage obstructions.
Is this a chemical pesticide?
No, these are pheromone lures that use a natural scent to trap moths. They do not contain chemical insecticides.
Can I use these in any moth trap?
These refills are specifically designed for the Topbuxus Moth Trap and may not fit or perform as expected in other brands.
Troubleshooting
No moths captured in the trap
Ensure the trap is placed in a clear area near your boxwood and that the lure is correctly inserted. If it is early or late in the season, moth activity may naturally be lower.
Lure has been in the trap for a long time
If the lure has been exposed to the elements for more than a full season, it loses its effectiveness. Replace it with a fresh capsule from the 2-pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Compatibility: These refills are exclusively compatible with the Topbuxus Box Tree Caterpillar Moth Trap.
- Storage: Keep unopened capsules in a cool, dry place, ideally refrigerated, to preserve the potency of the pheromones until use.
- Handling: Avoid touching the inside of the capsule directly with your hands to prevent scent contamination, which could potentially lower the effectiveness of the pheromone.
