Trap data
Examine the trap once a week, or at least once a month. During the height of the infestation, more frequent readings and pheromone replacements may be necessary.

Servicing the trap
Traps should be serviced regularly. Best is to collect and dispose its content far away from the location and preferably outside the orchard. Traps should
be wiped, dried and stored carefully for use in the following season. Do not use this trap to catch other types of insects as pheromones may interfere and lose their efficacy.

The Buxus moth trap can easily be reused and the pheromone fillings are available separately as a refill pack.

The Pheromone Refill Packs last for 6 months out of the fridge but in a cool store - 1 year in fridge and 2 years in freezer.
