Product Information
Full details
The Growing Success Apple Maggot Monitoring Trap is an effective and environmentally friendly way to monitor and manage codling moth infestations in apple and pear trees. The pheromone-based trap attracts and captures male moths, helping gardeners assess infestation levels and take action if necessary—without harming beneficial insects. While this trap helps reduce the number of grubs found in apples, it does so indirectly by monitoring infestation levels rather than directly controlling the problem. If more than 12 moths per week are captured, this indicates a significant infestation, and further action may be required. Why Use This Trap? The main cause of maggot damage in apples and pears is the larvae of the codling moth. Female moths lay eggs in trees during winter, and by early summer, the hatched caterpillars begin feeding on developing fruit, causing significant damage. This trap allows early detection, giving you the option to treat infestations with a suitable insecticide if needed. One trap monitors up to five average-sized trees within a 12-metre range. Safe for organic gardening, as it is pesticide-free and does not attract beneficial insects. When to Use: Hang the trap in mid-May when male moths become active. Monitor from mid-May to late July and remove in early September.
