Pest Wizard 3pk Squash Vine Borer Lure

Protect your squash, pumpkins, and melons from damaging pests with the Pest Wizard 3pk Squash Vine Borer Lure. This specially formulated pheromone lure is designed to selectively attract Melittia cucurbitae, a common and destructive pest known to attack the stems of cucurbit plants. 

By using these lures, you can effectively monitor and reduce the presence of squash vine borers, protecting your crops during the growing season.

Selectively Attracts Squash Vine Borers

The Squash Vine Borer Lure is engineered to specifically target Melittia cucurbitae, the primary pest responsible for damaging squash, pumpkin, and melon plants. This pest typically lays its eggs at the base of the plant, where the larvae burrow into the stems, causing wilting and plant death. With the Pest Wizard Lure, you can lure adult borers into traps before they have the chance to reproduce, significantly reducing the risk of crop damage.

Long-Lasting, 30-Day Pheromone Lures

Each pack contains three 30-day pheromone lures, providing long-lasting protection throughout the season. Once deployed, these pheromone lures continuously attract squash vine borers for up to 30 days, making them a convenient and effective solution for monitoring and controlling infestations over an extended period. By replacing the lures every month, you can maintain consistent pest control and protect your plants throughout their growing cycle.

Easy to Use with Delta Traps

The Pest Wizard Squash Vine Borer Lure is designed for use with paper delta traps (sold separately) or as a refill for the complete trap kit. Simply place the lure inside the trap, and it will begin attracting adult squash vine borers. The traps allow you to monitor the pest population and take further action if necessary. Using this lure system helps you detect and manage infestations early, preventing significant damage to your crops.
