Product Description
Traps Squash Vine Borers!
The adult Squash Vine Borer is a stout dark gray moth with 'hairy' red hind legs, opaque front wings, and clear hind wings with dark veins. Unlike most moths, they fly about the plants during the daytime, appearing more like a paper wasp than a moth.
This insect overwinters as a full grown larva or a pupa one to two inches below the soil surface. If it has not already done so, the larva pupates in the spring. Adult moths begin to emerge about the time the plants begin to run, and moth flight continues through mid August. The small brown eggs, laid individually on leaf stalks and vines, hatch in seven to 10 days. The newly hatched larva immediately bores into the stem. A larva feeds for 14 to 30 days before exiting the stem to pupate in the soil. There are 1 to 2 generations per year.
VivaGrow Squash Vine Borer traps include a pheromone to naturally lure mature moths to a sticky surface where they cannot escape, keeping them from being able to produce larvae which feed on and damage plants. 100% safe for pets, non toxic.
Includes: 2x extra-sticky wet glue traps & 2x lures (2 complete traps)
Instructions: Hang traps at 2-3' height, 3-4' away from grow area or garden plot to draw borer moths away. Place with care to avoid wind and rain as possible. Use one trap + lure per 100-150 square feet of planted area. Deploy traps at first planting, replacing traps as needed through August for best results. Lure lasts for approximately 6-8 weeks.

Effective
Proving effective for pest control in our fall garden. We grow pumpkins and squash in the southwest US. Currently we are using one trap at a time because our garden is small at around 150 square feet (15x10' area). Hoping we have more edible veggies this year.

We love them, borers hate them
Borers hate these traps! And that is ok because we hate the borers. : )

Impressed!
There’s got to be 6 or more vine borer moths in this trap and it’s been out less than a day! Very impressed

Highly effective but keep looking for eggs
These worked immediately for me! First day, caught 15 in 4 traps, and continued to catch today. HOWEVER, I'd recommend that egg hunting continue. I also found over 10 eggs on my 4 summer squash today--some on the leaves near the stalk. Also, spraying with BT might help kill the eggs when they hatch, with reapplications every few days and after rain. Good luck, everyone!

Squash and pumkins
This is the only thing we can find for the squash and zuccinni bugs. These will help if you have them too.

Hard to find
These are hard to find this year, must be lots of borers out there
-
Get them while you can
Order them early they sell out fast every year. Put these out in spring and in fall.
