AgBio Codling Moth And Oriental Fruit Moth Traps by VivaGrow
Codling Moth and Oriental Fruit Moth attack these trees and other species:
Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella) larvae are typically the cause of 'wormy' fruit, doing damage by stinging flesh and boring into seed cavities. Oriental Fruit Moth (Grapholita molesta) larvae attack both fruit and young shoots & twigs, primarily feeding around the pit of the fruit. AgBio Codling Moth & Oriental Fruit Moth Traps utilize a dual pheromone lure to attract male moths to a sticky surface where they cannot escape.
