Traps should be hung in early spring. The gypsy moths are active from late April through August. You should choose a tree where air current can circulate the attractant freely. Hang the trap 4-5 feet off the ground in a tree or on a suitable stand. The south side of the tree is best.

You should check you trap at least two times a week.

To empty your trap:
a) Immerse the trap completely in soapy water for one or two minutes to kill any remaining moths
b) Twist off ring
c) Pull out funnel, and
d) Dump the moths in regular trash collection. Rinse out or replace bag and re-hang.

Recommended number of traps:
Two traps per ten trees

If trap catch declines and it is not the end of the season, replace the lure. The lure is designed to last 6-8 weeks.

The Gypsy Moth Trap comes with one lure and one bag.
The replacement lure comes with one lure.
