Monterey Codling Moth Trap & Lure

Monterey Codling Moth Trap & Lure, manufactured by Monterey, is an easy-to-set-up pheromone trap that attracts male codling moths and traps them, preventing them from mating with females. 

By trapping male codling moths, this non-toxic trap reduces the overall population and limits the damage done to fruit and nut trees. 

Monterey Codling Moth Trap & Lure reduces infestations without toxic chemicals and provides an early warning system for home gardens and orchards against early codling moth activity, allowing for quicker control. 

Tools Needed

No tools are needed as the trap comes ready to use. 

How to Use

• Step 1: Attach hanger. Grasp the trap by top and bottom flags.
