TOPBUXUS Tree Moth Trap with One Season of Pheromone Capsules Blue Box
Description
An effective way to monitor the presence of the male boxwood moth. The male moths are attracted by the pheromone and cannot escape the trap once they enter it. Once you confirm its presence, you can take action with available biological pesticides that contain as the active ingredient bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki (BTK). You spray these products when there are caterpillars present. If the infestation of caterpillar is small you can also hand pick them off and put them in soapy water. Another method is to blast them off the boxwood with water from the hose as they cannot climb back up the boxwood before starving.
