Monterey Peach Tree Borer Trap & Lure

Monterey Peach Tree Borer Trap & Lure, manufactured by Monterey, is a simple yet effective pheromone trap and lure kit that captures a wide range of borer moths infesting various tree types. 

The lure contains pheromones that attract male clear-winged moths of the borer family, such as dogwood, peach trees, and rhododendron borers. Therefore, when these pests contact the trap's adhesive surface, they are unable to mate with females and eventually perish in the glue. 

Monterey Peach Tree Borer Trap & Lure effectively reduces the overall population of pests and limits the amount of damage done to trees with a straightforward installation. Simple to assemble and set out, allowing homeowners and gardeners an easy warning system for borer moth activity, resulting in proactive management anytime during the season. 

Tools Needed

Comes as a ready-to-use product with no other application tools necessary.

How to Use

• Step 1: Attach Hanger. 
• Step 2: Grasp trap by top and bottom flaps. Pull apart to form a trap (do not touch glue).
• Step 3: Open the lure packet. Place one lure on the inside, upper surface of the trap (do not touch the attractant lure). Hang the trap in your tree. 
• Step 4: Place the trap 1 to 2 feet inside the tree canopy. Check for moths every 2 to 3 days and apply appropriate treatments to control moths. Recycle or dispose of traps when full of insects, or at least every 3 months.
