To monitor and capture the box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis). The box tree moth attacks the common box (Buxus sempervirens) as well as Buxus microphylla, Buxus sinica and Buxus colchica. The moth can wreak havoc in tree nurseries, parks and gardens. Trees are simultaneously attacked by the fungus Cylindrocladium buxicola.
Buxatrap is a pheromone trap to be used in combination with Pherodis pheromone dispensers. The pheromone dispenser releases a species-specific sex pheromone to lure the adult males box tree moths into the trap.
Position the traps from May/June until the end of November, in the period in which the moths are active.
For tall box trees (>1.5 m), hang up the trap at eye level.
For shorter box trees (<1.5 m), hang up the trap on a holder.
Replace the pheromone capsules every eight weeks.
The Buxatrap requires no special storage conditions.
