How to Use
How to Use
Use the Light Brown Apple Moth Pheromone Lure with a suitable monitoring trap, such as a Delta Trap, Moth Catcher, or Intercept 400.
Place traps from petal fall until the end of August, positioning them near the highest point of the plant. Use supporting posts approximately 1 metre high, or higher if the crop is taller.
Check traps weekly from the start of the overwintering generation flight. During periods of high pest activity, more frequent checking may be required.
Replace lures every 4–6 weeks for the most accurate monitoring results.

Safety Information
Safety Information
Pheromone lures are sensitive monitoring tools and should be handled carefully.
Avoid exposing lures to elevated heat or direct sunlight. Avoid direct touching by hand, as this may cause cross-contamination and lead to mixed catches in the trap. Some contaminants, such as nicotine, may have a repellent effect and reduce trap catch.
Store lures in a cool, dry place. Shelf life can vary from 3–36 months depending on storage temperature. Refer to the Technical Data Sheet for further details.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
