The Gardening Naturally Box Tree Moth Trap and Refill is an essential tool for gardeners looking to protect their box hedges from devastating moth infestations. By utilizing a pheromone-based system to attract and capture adult male moths, it effectively disrupts the breeding cycle before damage-causing caterpillars can emerge. While highly effective for monitoring and population control, users must remain diligent with the weekly maintenance of the trap and the timely replacement of pheromone lures to ensure consistent, season-long protection.

You should install the traps by mid-March and keep them in place until October to cover the full moth activity season.
For large areas, use 4 traps per hectare, or approximately 1 trap per 0.5 acres for smaller, standard garden plots.
The pheromone is highly specific to the box tree moth, meaning it is designed to avoid attracting bees or other beneficial pollinators.
Yes, the bucket trap is durable and can be cleaned and reused in future seasons, provided you purchase additional pheromone refills.
Adding a drop of detergent breaks the water's surface tension, ensuring that once a moth lands to investigate, it sinks into the water and cannot escape.
Check that the trap is at the recommended height of 1.5-2 metres and in an open area. Verify the lure hasn't expired.
In hot or dry weather, check the water level more frequently and top up to the 5cm mark as needed.
Ensure they were stored in a cool, dark place away from direct heat, and always replace strictly every 5 weeks.
To set up your trap, hang the unit 1.5 to 2 metres above the ground in a location near your box hedges. Fill the bottom of the bucket with 5cm of water and add a single drop of dish detergent; this breaks the surface tension, ensuring captured moths sink into the water.
Replace the pheromone lure every 5 weeks without fail to maintain a strong scent trail. Empty the contents of the trap weekly to prevent decay, which can interfere with the lure's attractiveness. When storing unused lures, always place them in a cool, dark area, such as a refrigerator or a sealed box in a shed, to ensure the pheromones remain potent for the following weeks.
