Manual

The pheromone capsule must be used with the Funnel Trap.

Fill the trap with 0.5 l of water and two drops of oil, non-odorous washing-up liquid or non-odorous black soap to prevent the water from evaporating and make it easier for the moths to drown.

Place the pheromone basket on the green lid and empty the contents of the syringe into the bottom of the green pheromone basket then close the pheromone basket with its closing cap.

Place the trap on the first low branches of the tree.

The trap must be cleared so that the butterflies can circle around it.

Moths attracted by the female sex pheromone enter the trap and fall into the soapy water.

Visually check if there is any water left in the bucket, otherwise add some without touching the pheromone.

Mode of action: The male butterflies attracted by the female sex pheromone, tired of not finding the female, will eventually fall into the trap and thus be captured.

This pheromone is specific for trapping male oak processionary moths (Thaumetopea processionea).
