Rootsum - pheromone capsule against the box tree moth
Product information "Rootsum - pheromone capsule against the box tree moth"
PHEROMONE CAPSULES—WHAT ARE THEY? These capsules release pheromones—a sexual attractant—that draw male box tree moths to them and lure them inside. This prevents them from fertilizing the female box tree moths present. It’s an eco-friendly way to keep your garden free of box tree moths. Since it is a scent-based product, the capsule does not contain any liquid. It may appear empty, but it does indeed contain pheromones.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST? A pheromone capsule is normally active for 6 weeks. However, during warmer months, the duration is 4 weeks because the pheromones will “evaporate” more quickly due to the heat. Be sure to replace the pheromone capsule at the right time. In total, you’ll need 4 to 6 capsules for a full season.
WHEN TO USE? Late May through mid-October. Replace the pheromones every 4 to 6 weeks.
HOW?
- Do not touch the capsule! Your own body odor will interfere with the scent. Drop the capsule into the trap without touching it, or use gloves to handle it.
- Do not open the capsule, or the pheromones will evaporate
- Place the capsule in the designated slot in a funnel trap.
- The male moths will fly around the pheromone until they become exhausted and fall into the funnel trap. Once inside the funnel trap, they cannot escape.
STORAGE?
You can store the capsules for up to 2 years in the freezer, or for several months in the refrigerator. Keep the aluminum pouch sealed if you don’t need the capsule yet.
