Peach Tree Borer Moth Trap Pack - 2 traps/2 lures

Peach Tree Borers are a native North American pest that use trees as their maternity wards and incubators, often causing devastating harm to the tree. The females will lay their eggs (about 500-600) on the bases or trunks of trees and, when they hatch, the larvae begins boring into the bark or roots of their host tree to feed on the delicate inner tissues. Eventually the larvae will pupate and, in roughly 28 days, re-emerge as ready-to-mate adults. This process begins in April or May and continues through September. The 5-day lifespan of these adults is the only time that these insects will leave their host trees. The tunneling of the borers can cause significant damage to the vascular tissue of trees. This is particularly hard on young and smaller trees; older and larger trees are better able to resist the borers. Trees can yellow and eventually die or have their ability to produce fruit greatly compromised. Early detection and vigorous monitoring are recommended to nip an infestatio
