The Gardening Naturally Codling Moth Trap is designed for home gardeners and orchard enthusiasts seeking to protect their apple, pear, and other fruit trees from codling moth damage. Its primary benefit is significantly reducing moth populations by capturing males, thereby preventing the breeding cycle and minimizing fruit infestation. A key consideration is that while one trap covers multiple trees, it requires timely placement and monitoring to be most effective.

The trap uses a pheromone lure to attract and capture male codling moths. This interrupts their breeding cycle, reducing the population and preventing them from laying eggs that hatch into larvae which damage fruit.
They help prevent wormy fruit by reducing the codling moth population, leading to healthier harvests, less fruit damage, and potentially fewer chemical treatments required.
One trap is effective for monitoring up to five average-sized trees within a range of 15 meters (50 feet).
If you catch more than 15 moths in a week, it indicates a high infestation. This signals a need to apply an appropriate pest treatment about one week after the moth count spikes.
By early September, remove the trap. Dispose of the used lure and sticky insert. Clean the trap body and store it for reuse in the following season with a refill kit.
Yes, the main trap structure is reusable for multiple years. You will need to purchase a refill kit annually, which includes a new pheromone lure and sticky base.
The optimal timing is when the petals on your fruit trees begin to fall. In warmer climates or sheltered gardens, hanging the trap in early May can also be beneficial, as codling moths typically fly from late May to July.
Ensure the pheromone lure is fresh and correctly placed. Check if the trap is positioned in the moths' flight path. Verify the trap is hung at the appropriate time of year (late May to July, or earlier if warm).
This indicates a potentially high infestation. Apply a suitable treatment approximately one week after the increased activity is noted. Monitor closely for subsequent catches.
Inspect the trap regularly. If the main body is damaged, consider a new trap. Refill kits contain replacement lures and sticky bases for existing, undamaged traps.
This may indicate a very high moth population or that the trap is not covering all affected trees. Ensure optimal trap placement and consider if additional traps or treatments are needed. Check if larvae are entering the fruit before adult moths are trapped.
