GROWING SUCCESS PLUM MAGGOT MONITORING TRAP
The main cause of maggot damage in plums, damsons and gages is due to the caterpillars produced by the plum fruit moth. Female winter moths lay eggs in trees. The eggs hatch out into caterpillars which feed ravenously on fruit in early summer. Growing Success Plum Maggot Monitoring Trap allows gardeners to assess the infestation problem and treat with a suitable insecticide if necessary.
When to Use
Male moths fly and mate on warm nights from mid-May to the end of July. Place the trap in the garden mid-May.
