Monterey Codling Moth Trap & Lure

The traps use a synthetic pheromone lure to mimic the scent of female codling moths. This attracts male moths into the trap, where they get stuck on the adhesive surface, effectively disrupting the breeding cycle and preventing them from laying eggs on your fruit.

Yes, they are completely non-toxic and pesticide-free. Because the system relies on pheromones rather than chemicals, it is safe to use in home orchards where children and pets play.

These traps are not weather-resistant. It is best to hang them in a protected area of the tree canopy where they are shielded from direct rainfall, or replace them if they become saturated, as moisture will compromise the adhesive.

No, these are single-use traps. Once the adhesive surface is covered with moths or debris, the trap should be discarded and replaced with a fresh one to maintain effectiveness.

For monitoring population levels, one or two traps are usually sufficient for a small backyard orchard. If you are using them for mass trapping to actively reduce the pest population, you will likely need more traps spaced throughout your trees.

These traps are specifically designed for trees prone to codling moth infestations, including apples, pears, and walnuts. They are an effective, chemical-free way to protect these specific crops.
