Strawberry blossom weevil (Anthonomus rubi) Lure
Strawberry Blossom Weevil Pheromone Lure is a targeted monitoring and trapping lure for strawberry blossom weevil, Anthonomus rubi.
The lure contains a male sex aggregation pheromone that attracts both males and females, supporting early detection before populations build up and helping protect strawberry flower buds from damage.
How to Use
How to Use
Use the Strawberry Blossom Weevil Pheromone Lure with a Green Vane Trap.
Begin monitoring at the start of flower stem extension in spring to provide early warning of infestation and support timely decision-making.
Place traps where adult weevils are likely to migrate into the crop. Good positions include crop margins next to hedgerows, woodland, headlands, or neighbouring crops that have flowered earlier.
For protected crops, place traps at the ends of tunnels near entrances, where weevils are likely to enter from hedgerows, headlands or nearby infested crops.
Replace lures every 6–8 weeks for the most accurate monitoring results.

Safety Information
Safety Information
Pheromone lures are sensitive monitoring tools and should be handled carefully.
Wear gloves when handling lures. Direct touching by hand may cause cross-contamination, which can lead to mixed catches in traps. Some contaminants, such as nicotine, may have a repellent effect and reduce trap catch.
Avoid exposing lures to elevated heat or direct sunlight. Keep lures sealed until required.
Sealed lures can be stored for long periods in a freezer at around -20°C, or in a fridge at around 4°C for up to 1 year. Do not store lures in a freezer or fridge where food is stored.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
