A range of pheromone lures for monitoring activity of pest moths. Available for carob moth, citrus leafminer, citrus mealybug, cluster caterpillar, codling moth, corn earworm, diamondback moth, fall armyworm, light brown apple moth, native budworm, oriental fruit moth and potato tuber moth.

Description

These powerful pheromone lures attract male moths by mimicking the scent of the female moth. Each lure product is species-specific and can be used to monitor activity of the adult population of that species.  We currently supply pheromone lures for the following moth species:

  • Carob moth (Ectomyelois ceratoniae)
  • Citrus leafminer (Phyllocnistis citrella)
  • Citrus Mealybug (Planococcus citri)
  • Cluster caterpillar (Spodoptera litura)
  • Codling moth (Cydia pomonella)
  • Corn earworm (Helicoverpa armigera formerly Heliothis armigera)
  • Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella)
  • Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)
  • Light brown apple moth (Epiphyas postvittana)
  • Native budworm (Helicoverpa punctigera, formerly Heliothis punctigera)
  • Oriental fruit moth (Grapholita molesta)
  • Potato tuber moth (Phthorimaea operculella)

Monitoring these moths with pheromone traps gives an early warning of the arrival or emergence of the pest and gives an indication of pest pressure throughout the season. This information can be used to improve pest management decisions.

Use these pheromone lures with our delta traps or bucket traps. Check traps weekly, removing any moths and incidental insects from the sticky base of the delta trap or the inside of the bucket trap. Replace the sticky inserts in delta traps when they become filled with dust or insects. Replace the pheromone lures monthly.

Note that in addition to this range of moth pheromone products we also supply specific pheromone lures for western flower thrips, sweet potato weevil and banana weevil borer.

While we make every effort to supply you with beneficial insects and mites to help improve your pest management, and to reduce the need for pesticides, we cannot guarantee the outcome in every situation.  Our biocontrol agents do feed readily on the species that we have specified in our tech sheets and on our website.  However, there are many variables including accurate pest identification, plant species, pest density, numbers of beneficials released, environmental conditions and history of pesticide usage that influence the outcomes.  We will always do our best to help you achieve a positive outcome but we simply cannot guarantee that your problem will be solved to your satisfaction.  Because every situation is unique we are constantly learning about how best to use our good bugs.  We appreciate any feedback from your experience.
