Horse Chestnut Leaf-Mining Moth Trap – Effective Pest Control

The Horse Chestnut Leaf-Mining Moth is a small moth whose caterpillars feed on the inside of Horse Chestnut leaves, causing brown or white blotch mines to develop between leaf veins. This pest is most active between June and September, making it important to take action early in the season to prevent damage to your trees.

Identifying Horse Chestnut Leaf-Mining Moth Damage

Damage caused by the Horse Chestnut Leaf-Mining Moth is easy to spot. The white elongated blotches soon turn brown, and the caterpillars or circular pupal cocoons can be seen when the leaf is held up to the light. These moths reproduce rapidly, with 200-300 eggs typically laid on each leaf between May and August.

Effective Moth Trap for Pest Control

This Horse Chestnut Leaf-Mining Moth Trap uses a species-specific pheromone to attract male moths, causing them to fall into the water below and become trapped. This process breaks the moth lifecycle and reduces the population of this destructive pest. The trap’s entry holes are designed to only allow moths inside, preventing larger insects and birds from being caught, unlike other standard traps.
