The Pea Moth Trap will is a great springboard for avoiding caterpillar-ridden peas as the pheromone-based trap helps attract & trap adult pea moths giving you a good idea of their numbers & removing a few for good measure. This handy 16cm high by 12cm wide reusable trap is simply hung in around the pea crop from late May until early July when adults are most active. The pheromone lure provided with the trap will last between 6 to 8 weeks – enough for one season – & purchasing a replacement lure means you can trap year after year. The trap will disrupt the pea moth mating activity which leads to reduced egg laying & therefore less damaging caterpillars. The pea moth trap sits perfectly in any organic pest control programme & covers a large area typically 10 rows of peas measuring 20m in length
- so if you can't sow early or late use this trap to keep peas safe!
