Pest Wizard Light Brown Apple Moth Trap Kit

The Pest Wizard Light Brown Apple Moth Trap Kit is a complete monitoring system that pairs colored traps with pheromone lures to catch adult light brown apple moths (Epiphyas postvittana). Trapping males before they mate helps organic growers monitor this broad-host, quarantine pest and reduce damage to fruit and foliage.

How to use

Place a lure inside a trap and hang it at shoulder height near at-risk or affected crops, where color and pheromone draw adult males. Replace lures every 30 days and swap traps once they are more than about 70 percent full. Because this is a quarantine species, check whether your local agricultural department requires reporting, and favor practices that protect beneficial insects.
