Pest Wizard Raspberry Crown Borer Trap

The kit uses a specific pheromone lure that mimics the scent of female raspberry crown borers. This attracts the adult male moths into the delta trap, where they get stuck on the adhesive surface, allowing you to monitor their presence and population levels before they can lay eggs on your plants.

This is primarily a monitoring tool. While it will trap and remove the adult moths that enter it, its main purpose is to help you identify when the pests are active so you can time other garden management practices effectively.

You should set up the traps during the summer emergence season, which is when adult moths are active and looking to mate. Check your local agricultural extension office for the specific timing of borer emergence in your region to ensure you catch the peak activity window.

Yes, the traps are completely non-toxic and chemical-free. They rely on pheromones rather than pesticides, making them a safe, sustainable option for family-friendly gardens.

This kit includes two traps, which is usually sufficient for a small to medium-sized berry patch. If you have a larger garden or multiple distinct rows of raspberries, you may want to space them out to get a better sense of pest pressure across your entire planting area.
