Plum Moth Characteristics
Plum moth (Grapholita funebrana) is a small butterfly whose:
- Wingspan: 14-15 mm
- Forewings: dark brown

Pest Life Cycle
Moths fly at dusk, during warm and calm weather after plum tree flowering for 1-2 months. Females lay eggs on young fruits, larvae hatch after 7-10 days. Caterpillars are 12-15 mm long, with pinkish-red bodies and brown heads.
Trap Installation
- Fold up the ends of the trap base
- Place the sticky base adhesive side up
- Position the pheromone capsule in the center of the sticky base
- Attach the trap to a branch using fastening elements
- Install the trap 2-3 m high on the south or west side of the tree
Trap Maintenance and Usage
Check the trap weekly. Replace the sticky base when it becomes dusty or covered with debris. The pheromone capsule needs replacement every 3-4 weeks. For effective control, install one trap per mature tree.
Safety Information
The adhesive is strongly sticky. Use white spirit or cooking oil to clean hands. The trap body can be reused for the same insect species next season.
Usage Effectiveness
Noticeable pest reduction is achieved after 2-3 years of consistent use. It is recommended to continue using traps to maintain pest control.
