Product Description
Attracts & Traps Squash Vine Borers!
The mature 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.

WOW
Each trap was filled with moths in 2 days/nights! We could not believe how many moths were present. The lures last a lot longer so we are replacing the cardboard/glue diamond trap part (ask VivaGrow about additional diamond traps they helped set us up). It is really kind of gross how well the moths were caught, we just had no idea there were this many. Hopefully we can reduce the population and have better veggies this fall.

Very good trap includes instructions en Espanol

Amazing!!
We cannot believe how many borers we caught in a week. We did not know how much of a problem we have! Now our neighbors are buying these traps too. All our gardens are looking much better with less pest damage than previous years. It was getting so bad that we could not eat much of what we had grown over the season. So happy that we have a solution now! Traps last many weeks so you will probably not need many to last the whole season. The lures are sealed individually so you can wait to put the second trap out.

Vine Borers hate this one trick
I guess whatever is in these traps is more exciting than vines for the borers. No damage last year in our garden.

Very good
Very good results from these traps in the garden

Very Effective Trap
These are very effective. I never realized how many moths we were getting
-
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. : )
