Pine processionary moth pheromone trap: an eco-friendly solution to protect your pine trees

The pine processionary moth is a devastating pest that threatens the health of your trees. This pheromone trapping kit, consisting of a trap and two pheromones, provides an effective and ecological method to capture males before they fertilize the females. Ideal for prolonged protection, this system significantly reduces infestations while preserving the ecosystem.

How to recognize an infestation by the pine processionary moth?

  • Presence of caterpillar nests in the shape of gray-brown cocoons attached to the branches of pine trees.
  • Visible silk webs on the needles or branches, often accompanied by signs of molting.
  • Discovery of white or gray flying moths around pine trees, especially in spring and summer.
  • Pine needles turning yellow or falling prematurely, indicating prolonged attacks.

Life cycle of the pine processionary moth

Caterpillars hatch in spring and form nests where they protect themselves. After their development, they descend in procession to bury themselves in the soil, where they transform into pupae. Adult moths then emerge to ensure reproduction.

Mode of action and effectiveness of the pheromone trap

This kit uses specific sexual pheromones to attract and capture male pine processionary moths. By reducing the number of males available to fertilize females, the trap limits egg-laying and, consequently, the proliferation of caterpillars. The effectiveness duration of a pheromone is 10 weeks, providing extended protection over several months.

For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to place the trap about 2 meters high on the pine tree. Once the first pheromone is exhausted, the second can be used to maintain protection.

Instructions for using the pine processionary moth kit

1

Place the first pheromone in the trap using gloves to avoid direct contact with the irritating hairs of the caterpillars.

2

Attach the trap about 2 meters high on the pine tree, following the instructions provided in the manual.

3

Regularly clean the trap to avoid the accumulation of dead moths and maintain its effectiveness.

4

After 10 weeks, replace the used pheromone with the second pheromone stored in the freezer.
