Attractant lasts for 3-4 months from date of opening the twist top. You hang them in the effected trees and they will catch the insects on this tree. For trees up to 2m in height hang 2 units. Trees above 2m, use 4 units. If you have a heavy infestation, 4-6 no matter the size of the tree is recommended.
Citrus Gall Wasp
Popular citrus trees are prone to attack from citrus gall wasps. The larvae form a gall or bump on the limbs of trees causing reduction in crop yield and branch dieback.
Insectrap attracts the citrus gall wasps to its sticky formula and they become permanently trapped, unable to lay eggs that become larvae.
Insectrap interrupts their life cycle and helps to reduce their population. Without Insectrap the tree can be infected continuously.
Application – Remove from packaging and twist open the top part to expose the holes that release the attractant.
Hang on outer limbs by its hook.
Discard the entire unit when full and replace with a new one.
Season – August to February. Hang 2 units for trees up to 2 metres in height and 4 units for trees above 2 metres in height
