- The Plum Maggot Trap Refill is designed to be used with the Growing Success Plum Maggot Monitoring Trap and should be replaced every 6 weeks
- The main cause of damage to plums, damsons and greengages is due to caterpillars produced from the Plum Moth
- This refill kit together with the Moth trap works by luring the male moth to the trap when he is out looking for a mate. This is done through the use of the pheromone scent of the female moth
- Regular monitoring of the number of male moths caught in the sticky trap enables you to assess the infestation problem and treat with a suitable insecticide if necessary
