The Maluttebio citrus leafminer pheromone is an essential biological solution for detecting and controlling the flights of the citrus leafminer moth. Designed to integrate into a delta trap, this device allows real-time monitoring of the pest activity on your citrus trees, whether they are lemon, orange, mandarin, or clementine trees. By attracting male moths, it facilitates early intervention before tender shoots suffer irreversible damage.
Ideal for both home gardeners and professionals, this pheromone is used as part of a comprehensive protection strategy. It comes in three practical formats: a single pheromone, a pack including a trap and a pheromone, or a seasonal pack with four refills to cover the entire flight period, from June to October.
Use this pheromone as soon as you notice the first tender shoots on your citrus trees, typically from June onwards. It is particularly useful for anticipating attacks from the citrus leafminer, a pest that primarily targets young developing leaves. Early signs of infestation, such as fine galleries in the shoots or deformed leaves, often appear after the first moth flights, highlighting the importance of early detection.
This solution is essential for gardeners looking to protect their growing citrus trees, as well as for nursery owners or park and garden managers where trees are exposed to increased risks. It helps quickly identify periods of intense flight and act accordingly, combining monitoring and targeted treatment.
The citrus leafminer is a moth whose larvae bore galleries in young leaves, weakening the tree's vigor. Eggs laid on tender shoots give rise to voracious larvae responsible for aesthetic and functional damage to the leaves.
This pest focuses on tender and developing leaves, making it a major threat to young trees or those with strong vegetative growth. Rapid intervention, based on monitoring with pheromone traps, helps limit damage before it becomes widespread.
The citrus leafminer pheromone mimics the natural sexual pheromones of the females, attracting males to the trap. This passive method captures moths without using chemicals while providing key information about pest activity. Once the first moths are captured, it is advisable to intervene quickly with natural treatments like Spruzit Pyrethrins Concentrate to protect new shoots.
For optimal effectiveness, place the pheromone in the trap’s pheromone holder, suspended between 1.5 to 2.5 meters high, in an open and accessible area. Regularly check the sticky plate to monitor capture evolution and adjust your protection strategy accordingly. This combined approach of monitoring and early treatment is key to maintaining your citrus trees healthy.
| Variant | Content | Installation Period | Replacement Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trap + 1 pheromone | 1 delta trap + 1 pheromone | From June to October | Replace the pheromone according to its duration of action |
Open the pheromone holder on the delta trap and carefully remove it.
Insert the pheromone into the holder, ensuring it is securely held in place.
Hang the delta trap at a height of 1.5 to 2.5 meters, in an open area with no obstructions in front of the openings.
Regularly check the sticky plate of the trap to monitor moth captures.
In case of frequent captures, intervene quickly with an appropriate natural treatment, such as concentrated pyrethrins.
It is recommended to place the pheromone starting in June, when the citrus leafminer moth flights typically begin. Early detection will allow you to intervene before the tender shoots are too damaged. The seasonal pack is particularly suitable for covering this entire period without interruption.
For a home garden, one trap with a pheromone usually suffices to monitor a few nearby citrus trees. However, for optimal monitoring over several trees, it is advisable to use one trap per planting zone or isolated citrus tree. The seasonal pack with four pheromones is ideal for complete coverage from June to October.
Monitor the captures in the trap as well: if they significantly decrease, it may indicate that the pheromone is losing effectiveness. Replace it as soon as necessary to maintain optimal monitoring.
Absolutely. The citrus leafminer pheromone is designed for complementary use with other biological solutions, such as Spruzit Pyrethrins Concentrate. Once the first moths are captured, apply this treatment to protect the tender shoots. This combined approach ensures comprehensive and natural protection for your citrus trees.
The pheromone alone cannot be used without a compatible delta trap. We recommend purchasing the pack that includes a trap and a pheromone, or buying a delta trap separately for optimal use. The trap allows effective capture and monitoring of moth activity.
No, this pheromone is specifically designed to attract male citrus leafminer moths. It does not target other pests and should not be used outside of this context. For other issues, specific solutions are available on Maluttebio.
