Ephestia elutella lures
Ephestia elutella lure is a component of an insect trapping device, that uses pheromones to lure cacao moth/tobacco moth into a trap.
The lure, in the form of the rubber dispenser, that contains female pheromone of cacao moth/tobacco moth, must be placed in a Delta Plastic Trap to be fully functional (traps can be bought separately or in kits with lures).
Using such pheromone lures is an economic, environmentally sound approach to either monitor or trap these pests.
The lures in the traps must be replaced every 4-6 weeks to keep attraction rates high.
Shelf life - up to 2 years (optimum conditions).
