How long do I need to place pheromone traps in my home apple and pear orchard for the coddling moth? i.e. till harvest?

Yamhill County Oregon

Expert Response

Hello,
The pheromone traps are for monitoring the flights of the new male moths and there are multiple generations per growing season. Due to this you will need to leave them up until early fall. Here is additional information:
