Codling Moth Trap

The Tanglefoot Codling Moth Trap includes everything you need to capture codling moths, the leading cause of "wormy" apples. Each kit includes two sticky traps, two specially formulated lures (protected in sealed pouches until ready for use), hangers, even a special tool for removing trapped insects so the trap can be reused.

To use, simply assemble the trap, place the lure inside, and hang traps at eye level, on the north side of trees. If you have a grove of trees, it’s best to place traps on the outside trees, where insects are most likely to enter. The insects are lured inside, encounter the sticky surfaces, and become trapped without any means of escape. Best of all, this action is strictly mechanical - no pesticides or harmful chemicals are used.

For an integrated approach to natural pest control consider using Trichogramma Wasps to destroy the eggs. Bt-k (Dipel Dust) will kill the caterpillars.
