How to Install, Monitor, and Manage
① Put 750ml of water and 1 bag of brown sugar (75g) in the trap and mix well.
② Add 3ml of (undiluted) lure solution to the brown sugar water and mix well.
③ In early April, install the traps containing the lure in places where Oriental fruit moths are expected to breed or penetrate, places affected by the moths in the previous year, around the field, etc. Fix it firmly at a height that is easy to monitor/manage (approx. 1.5m).
④ Inspect captured pests every 5 to 7 days, remove them with a mesh strainer, and add 5 drops of the lure solution.
⑤ If there are many captured pests and they have to be removed every week, leave only 10% of the solution at the bottom of the trap after 4 weeks, and add new brown sugar water (0.75l).
⑥ If there are not many captured pests, not requiring weekly removal, leave only 10% of the existing solution, and then add new lure solution in mid-May (after about 45 days)
⑦ At the end of June (before the rainy season), finish the monitoring/capturing of the pests, and collect/store the traps after removing the lure solution.
