Agralan Pheromone Plum Fruit Moth Trap Or Refill For Maggots In Gages Damsons is Moths lay eggs in developing fruit flowers, producing grubs which eat the centre of the growing fruit leaving behind unpleasant frass. Control of this pest in the garden is very difficult using insecticides unless they are applied shortly after egg laying. The Plum Fruit Moth Trap uses the ‘Pheromone’ scent of the female moth to attract and catch male moths. This provides a warning as to if and when control measures are needed and does not attract beneficial insects. Important note: The lure will release scent from when the sachet is opened – do not open sachet until the lure is needed.
