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.
