Solar moth trap from Trapz NZ Ltd
Like moths to a … solar light.
Guava and codling moths are fast becoming the bane of most fruit growers’ existence. Now, you can enjoy your feijoas, citrus, loquats, apples, peaches, plums, pears and macadamia nuts without those horrible caterpillars lurking inside.
Non-toxic pest control for orchards and gardens
An environmentally friendly, cost-effective method of insect pest control, our solar traps present an irresistible, self-destructive attraction to guava moths, including those tricky females and other small moths.
The purple haze of the UV light in this fatal lure will stop these unwelcome pests ruining your soft fruit and nut crops year-round. Our solar moth traps are effective in both commercial orchards and home gardens.
Control codling and guava moth without the toxic sprays
One solar power trap per ¼ acre, or 1000m2, will rid your property of guava moths. Simply hang a solar moth trap where it can be seen and gets enough sunlight during the day to recharge the batteries. The unit will light up from dusk till dawn luring moths to their suicidal nosedives.
Simple, safe technology
Like many classic tales, the story of our solar powered traps and the guava moth is one of fatal attraction. Moths are lured to the LED lights. Entranced in the glow, they inadvertently touch the sticky oil in the tray and, boom, they’re trapped. Unlike pheromone traps, a solar moth trap will also catch female moths, saving your fruit for human consumption.
Growing more environmentally friendly
Proudly manufactured in New Zealand, our solar powered moth traps came to life when Bob Mitchell brought his years of experience in the electronic and medical instrument field to the task of developing a spray and chemical free answer to get rid of guava moths. Frustrated with how their feijoa, apples, macadamia nuts, and mandarins were being ruined, and wanting a spray-free approach to pest control, prototypes were built and tested, and successful field trials monitored.
