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.
VivaTrap Commercial Squash Vine Borer traps include a pheromone to naturally lure mature moths to a sticky surface where they cannot escape, preventing them from producing larvae which feed on and damage plants. 100% safe for pets, non toxic.
- Each pheromone lure lasts for approximately 60 days/8 weeks (5x included)
- Each wet glue trap insert lasts for approximately 30 days/4 weeks (10x included)
- 4mm corrugated plastic delta trap frame is reusable for many seasons & easy to clean

Extremely durable for outdoor use
This is an upgrade from the VT-100 traps for outdoor use. The lure is the same and they are very effective just like the disposable traps. Very very durable and will last for several years in the elements. The large design will also keep rain out easily. Made from corrugated plastic so they are essentially indestructible unless you are trying! Vivagrow will also sell just the lures and the sticky cards so this saves a lot of money as well.
