hi vintage0. I bought a trap last year,with a female lure in it, hung it in the tree - caught over 40 male moths - tough out of luck boys! we had a bumper crop of coxs orange and kidds orange red (old fashioned apples on a double grafted tree over 50 years old - will do the same this year.

How do you make a trap & how do you select a female moth?

You buy them from garden centres

I also hung a pheromone trap in the apple tree, it had quite a few moths in it, we also wrapped the trunk in sticky trap tape, which we over wrapped every few weeks and we still had coddling moth in the apples. Not sure what to do this year as I really didn’t want to spray if we could help it.
