Pine Processionary Moth Trap

✔️ These traps use sexual pheromones to attract males of the pine processionary butterfly.

✔️ The males, attracted by the pheromone diffuser, enter the trap and fall into a bag from which they cannot escape.

✔️ By capturing males, reproduction is prevented, reducing the pest population.

1️⃣ Site Preparation:Identify areas with the presence of pine processionary butterflies.

2️⃣ Trap Assembly:Follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembling the trap. Make sure the pheromone diffuser is correctly installed.

3️⃣ Positioning:Place the trap in a strategic position, preferably at a suitable height in the pine trees to maximize male capture.

4️⃣ Fixation:Secure the trap firmly in the chosen location to prevent it from falling or being moved by the wind.

5️⃣ Monitoring:Check the trap regularly to empty the capture bag and ensure the pheromone diffuser is active.

✅ Environmental Safety:Without the use of insecticides, the trap is safe for other beneficial insects and the environment in general.

✅ Population Control:By capturing males, the chance of mating is reduced, decreasing the population over time.

✅ Ease of Use:It can be installed and monitored easily.

Number of Traps:Depending on the affected area, it may be necessary to install several traps for effective control.

Strategic location:Place the traps in areas where the presence of male butterflies is more likely, such as near old nests or normally affected pine trees.
