The buxus moth pheromone is an essential biological solution to capture moths responsible for damaging your boxwoods. It helps detect the first waves of moth activity and act at the right time, before caterpillars cause irreversible harm. This pheromone is exclusively used in a dedicated pheromone trap, offering a simple and effective method to protect your hedges, topiaries, or boxwood shrubs.
Available in three practical formats, it adapts to your needs: a single pheromone refill, a combined pack with a trap, or a seasonal pack including three refills to cover the entire flight period. This solution is particularly suited for gardeners aiming to preserve the natural balance of their garden while minimizing chemical interventions.
Use this pheromone as soon as you notice the first signs of buxus moth presence, such as silk threads on the leaves, partially eaten leaves, or green caterpillars. The pheromone trap, combined with this refill, allows you to monitor moth activity in real-time and intervene quickly to protect your boxwoods.
This product is essential for owners of tall boxwoods, trimmed hedges, balls, or decorative shrubs, where damage can spread rapidly and become visible as soon as the first caterpillars appear.
The buxus moth is a butterfly whose caterpillars cause defoliation and weaken boxwoods. Depending on the region and weather conditions, this pest can produce up to three generations per year. Overwintering caterpillars resume activity in the spring, followed by several moth flights between April and September.
This cycle explains why continuous monitoring is necessary: spot treatments are not always sufficient to control infestations. The pheromone trap, combined with this refill, helps you track different flight waves and intervene at the right time to effectively protect your boxwoods.
The buxus moth pheromone works by attracting male moths to the trap, where they are captured. This significantly reduces the population of moths and, consequently, the number of eggs laid on your boxwoods. Once installed in the trap basket, the pheromone must be replaced every 10 weeks to maintain its effectiveness.
For optimal use, it is recommended to handle the pheromone with gloves to avoid contamination from external odors. If not used immediately, store it in the freezer in its original packaging to extend its shelf life up to two years from the manufacturing date.

It is recommended to set up the trap and install the first pheromone refill in April, before the first moth flights. This will allow you to quickly detect any presence of buxus moth and take appropriate action.
A buxus moth pheromone has an action duration of approximately 10 weeks. It is therefore recommended to replace it after this period to maintain its effectiveness and continue attracting male moths.
Outside this period, the buxus moth is less active, and the use of the pheromone is not necessary.
To preserve their effectiveness, it is recommended to store unused pheromones in the freezer, in their original sealed packaging. They can then be kept for up to two years from their manufacturing date.
You can also use trichogramma wasps to parasitize eggs and limit future infestations.
These products act at different stages of the buxus moth life cycle, providing comprehensive and enhanced protection for your boxwoods.
