How to use

Deploy traps in spring. Place a lure on the sticky floor of each trap and hang it about 4 ft high, a few feet away from the trees. Check weekly, since catching the pest may signal that an infestation is underway or about to begin. Replace lures every 30 days and swap traps as they fill with insects.
