Horse chestnut leaf miner

Natural treatment for the horse chestnut leaf miner

The moth (Carmeraria ohridella) appears as early as spring and lays eggs on horse chestnut trees, on the surface of the leaves. Spotting the galleries dug by the horse chestnut leaf miner makes it easy to detect its presence. The pheromone trap is the most commonly used method to fight this moth in an eco-friendly way.
