Lymantria dispar lures
Lymantria dispar lure is a component of an insect trapping device that uses pheromones to lure Spongy Moths into a trap.
The lure, in the form of the rubber dispenser, containing Lymantria dispar pheromone, must be placed in a pheromone 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 6-7 weeks to keep attraction rates high.
Shelf life - up to 2 years (optimum conditions).

How to use
• Take out the pheromone lure from its foil pouch just before use and place it on the trap (following Trap Use instructions).
• Do not place lures unprotected in direct sun.
• Please keep in mind that the disposal of the wrapping should be done away from the monitoring area.
Positioning
Place the trap near the highest point of the crop, secure it by using supporting posts, at the height of about 1.5-2-meter.
Positioning Density
For monitoring purposes – 2-3 traps should be deployed every hectare.
For mass-trapping – the recommended number of traps is subject to pest pressure, but generally we recommend deploying 20-30 traps per 1 ha.

Pheromone lures should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. For conservation of lures for longer periods of time it is recommended to refrigerate the product, in which case they will be effective for over 12 months.
Replacement
Replace every 6-7 weeks or as recommended by the agricultural authorities. Please keep in mind that the disposal of the old pheromone dispensers should be done away from the monitoring area, to avoid interference with the monitoring process.
