BioProtec Codling Moth Trap for Apples and Pears
The BioProtec codling moth trap is designed to help monitor and capture codling moths (Cydia pomonella), a common orchard pest. Used with a compatible pheromone lure, it allows for the detection of adult presence and more effective intervention at the right time of the season.
What is this trap used for
The codling moth is the famous insect responsible for "wormy" fruits in apples, pears, and quinces. The BioProtec trap helps monitor adult flights and reduce their presence in sensitive areas of the orchard.

How to Use
- Install the trap as soon as the first spring flights of the codling moth occur.

- Hang the trap at foliage height, in an open area of the tree.
- Avoid placing the trap opening against leaves or branches.
