RUSSELL IPM MOTHCATCHER TRAP (WIHOUT PHEROMONES)

• Durable and hardwearing for both indoor and outdoor trapping.
• Clear casing allows ease of monitoring and identification.
• Robust trap can be used for several seasons.
• Simple to install and maintain.

How to use
Fill the bucket with approx. 5 cm of water. Remove the cap from the Cage or pheromone holder, place an appropriate pheromone in the pheromone holder of the trap and close it again with the cap. Click the green trap lid onto the yellow funnel and press the funnel onto the bucket, twisting clockwise to close the trap. Check traps on a regularly basis.

Reach
A Buxus moth trap has a reach of approx. 180 m² or 200 linear meters.

Trap data
Examine the trap once a week, or at least once a month. During the height of the infestation, more frequent readings and pheromone replacements may be necessary.

Servicing the trap
Traps should be serviced regularly. Old trap contents should be collected and disposed far away from the trap and preferably outside the orchard. Traps should
be wiped, dried and stored carefully for use in the following season. Do not use for trapping other types of insects as pheromones may interfere and lessen efficacy.

The Buxus moth trap can easily be reused and the pheromone fillings are available separately as a refill pack.

The Pheromone Refill Packs last for 6 months out of the fridge but in a cool store - 1 year in fridge and 2 years in freezer.
