Growing Success Plum Maggot Monitoring Trap
The Growing Success Plum Maggot Monitoring Trap is a Pheromone-based trap to collect moths and prevent damage to plum, damson as well as greengage trees.
- Does not attract beneficial insects
- Pesticide free and suitable for organic gardening
Why Use:
The main cause of maggot damage in plums, damsons and gages is due to caterpillars produced by the plum fruit moth. In winter female moths lay eggs in trees. The eggs hatch out into caterpillars which feed on fruit in early summer. The monitoring trap allows gardeners to assess the infestation problem and treat with a suitable insecticide if necessary.
