Pheromones against the box tree borer larva - 58028-

The box tree moth is a moth (nocturnal butterfly) of the Crambidae family, native to Asia and accidentally introduced into Europe in 2006. Its green and black larvae pose a serious threat to parks and gardens, where box trees are very common. Particularly voracious, the larvae devour the leaves and the plants can be completely stripped in a few days. The plants turn a yellow-ochre color as if they had been burned and perish rapidly. The box tree moth produces several generations per year (2 to 3). After spending the winter inside a cocoon, the young larvae emerge with the first warm spring temperatures and immediately begin feeding on the leaves. Between late March and early April, the larvae begin their transformation into butterflies. This first generation takes flight and begins the reproductive phase between late May and early June. Eggs are laid in clusters on the underside of leaves.
A 100% ecological method, perfectly effective and respectful of crops and soil.
Pheromones are volatile substances generally secreted by female insects. They play a role in recognizing and sexually attracting males, who can spot them even from several kilometers away.
Each species emits a specific pheromone. This allows for highly precise and effective control of each type of pest.
Each type of pest corresponds to a specific pheromone.
The treatment consists of trapping the male insect by imitating the pheromone emitted by the female to prevent mating and therefore egg-laying.
