SUBSTRAL® Naturen® Naturen Plum Moth Trap

This insecticide-free, biotechnical trap is ideal for catching plum moth males during their flight period. They are attracted by the invisible and odourless pheromone that is attached to the outside of the capsule, and then stick to the glue-coated surface. As a result, the females remain unfertilised and can no longer lay the eggs from which the harmful plum moth caterpillars could hatch. Thanks to the green colour trap, no beneficial insects are lured into it.

The pheromone capsules and the glue base should be changed after 5 to 6 weeks - end of June, beginning of July - in order to render the second generation of the plum moth harmless. After harvesting, the trap bodies should be removed and stored in a dry place for next year's use. One trap is sufficient for 3 to 5 trees in the immediate vicinity.

Application time:

• April to August

Instructions for use

• From mid-May, hang the trap at head height in an airy place next to the trees to be protected. After 5 to 6 weeks, change the glue bases and pheromone capsules.
• Remove the trap body in early September and keep it dry for next year's use.
• In the following year, equip the trap with the inexpensive retrofit set and use it again.

Building the trap:

Do not open the bag until immediately before use and only use one bait at a time.
