BUXatrap Box Tree Moth Trap

The BUXatrap Box Tree Moth Trap is a patented pheromone trap that attracts and traps male box tree moths to allow a headcount and gauge the level of infestation.

This information allows for the monitoring and determination of the growth stage and period of activity of the insect’s colony. Once the infestation is identified then a curative insecticide can be used.

This trap system and encapsulated pheromone provides excellent efficacy and works without the addition of water, keeping the system clean and remaining effective for up to three months, without any further maintenance.

These pests are generally active from mid April to October, with a peak season from mid-July to the end of September. Put the trap in place at the beginning of the season (mid April) before the first flight, to attract and trap the male moths and limit reproduction. You can also position the trap during the moths’ flight season to monitor the potential level of infestation.
