Keep your boxwood healthy and effectively protect it from box tree moths with the Buxa Trap!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the Buxa trap, you can effectively catch male box tree moths. Lure tubes (pheromone) can be placed in the Buxa trap to attract the male moths. The male moths will fly into the trap and then will not be able to leave it. You should hang the trap near (and at the same height as) a boxwood plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Buxa trap is used to signal early if box tree moths are present in the garden and to gain insight into the severity of the infestation. This trap is not only for signaling but also for catching the male specimens so that they can no longer fertilize females. This will lead to fewer fertilized eggs and thus a decrease in the number of feeding caterpillars. The life cycle of the box tree moth is broken.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
