  • Where do I place the gypsy moth pheromone lure/ bait?

    Created by Danny Lin on July 6, 2018 at 1:51 pm

    Hi, I bought the milk carton gypsy moth traps last year but never set it up. Now, I am putting them together and there is no instructions. I figured out how to put the carton together, but how do I setup the lure?

    Thanks,
    Danny

    Hi Danny –

    Once the gypsy moth trap is set up just drop the pheromone lure or bait into the carton through the top opening. Close the top and attach a string or wire for hanging.

    Handling Precautions
    Dispose of empty packaging away from baited trap because moths may be attracted to discarded package. Refrigerate or freeze lure to extend storage life. Lures stored for more than one season may not retain peak effectiveness.

    Hope it helps!
