Autographa gamma 4/bag Feromoon

Effective against:
Use Pherodis species-specific pheromones or lures to attract male moths, beetles, mealybugs, and flies into traps.

Mode of Action

Pherodis dispensers release a species-specific sex pheromone or lure and must be used in combination with an insect trap. The type of trap depends on the target species to be monitored. The species-specific sex pheromone attracts males of the pest species into the trap. Capturing males helps reduce egg-laying by females, as they are unable to mate. For some pests, Pherodis dispensers contain lures that attract both sexes.

Preparation

• Remove the sachets with pheromone dispensers from the refrigerator and open them.

• Do not touch the dispenser directly, as pheromones may transfer via hand contact to unintended surfaces.

Application

• Place the dispenser inside the trap and position the trap according to the instructions for the specific trap type.

• Wash your hands between handling pheromone traps for different pest species.

• In the first few days after placing a new capsule, a temporarily increased pheromone release may result in higher trap catch rates.

• Pheromone dispensers remain effective for up to six weeks.
